Porn Industry Lifts Moratorium But Mandates More HIV Testing
Every 14 days rather than every 28 days
An adult film industry trade group announced that shooting can begin again Friday after a two-week moratorium prompted by HIV cases in the industry.
The industry also said it would revise its sexually transmitted disease testing protocols to require performers to test every 14 days rather than every 28, as was previously required. Performers will be required to test again on or after Thursday to be cleared for work.
Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult film industry, called a weeklong filming moratorium last month after a 28-year-old actress who goes by the screen name Cameron Bay tested positive for HIV.
Shortly after that moratorium was lifted, Rod Daily, another adult actor who is Bay's real-life boyfriend, announced on Twitter that he too had tested positive.
