LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California's multi-billion-dollar adult porn industry ground to a virtual halt on Thursday after a popular actor tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS (news - web sites).
Industry advocates immediately called for a 60-day moratorium on filming so that others could be tested.
Actor Darren James tested positive for HIV (news - web sites) on Wednesday in screening conducted routinely on the industry's 1,200 regular actors by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare (AIM) Foundation, the foundation's Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell (news) said.
They must show negative tests to keep working in the industry, Mitchell said, adding that only about 17 percent of performers use condoms.
James, the first porn actor to test positive for the virus since 1999, had a "stellar record" of tests -- negative every three weeks for the past seven years, she said.
Mitchell said James may have contracted the virus about four weeks ago while filming in Brazil on a "non-condom" set.
The Los Angeles-based industry, which normally films three to four films a day, must now wait 60 days to learn whether the deadly virus spread to 14 actresses who had onscreen sex with James, or to the 35 sex partners the women subsequently had.
The at-risk actors have been quarantined until June 8, and Mitchell has advocated a moratorium on shooting until the extent of the infection is known.
Former porn actress Jill Kelly, founder of Jill Kelly Productions Holding, Inc., said she and most other film producers have halted production for the next two months.
The postponement of eight films "won't do much damage" and can be quickly remedied by doubling the six-day-per-month shooting schedule, Kelly said.
But actors who live "check to check" may have trouble making ends meet during the moratorium, she said.
"Most of the people I have talked to are cooperating," she said. "There are a few people that won't. But if I find out there is talent working I won't ever hire them again."
Kelly said she was quarantined in 1999 after working with actor Tony Montana who subsequently tested positive for HIV and infected several co-stars.
"I was clean (but) it's scary," she said.
Director Corey Jordan, who used James in his "Baby Got Back" series, called the actor's diagnosis "a shock," but predicted the industry would rebound.
"In the porn community itself, HIV is pretty much taken care of in the sense that we make sure everyone is tested," he said. "Right now it's not about money, it's about people's well being."

Damn Bush invented the AIDS virus...big conspiracy to rid the Earth of all gays and thus less people...then he could be richer because there would less humans in which to share the oil.

They didn't ban it. Some safety officials recommended putting a stop to productions. Vivid has even come out saying they will keep shooting because everyone always uses condoms in their movies. The real victims here could be crew workers in the real movie biz who augment their income with gigs on porn shoots.
Reading this thread reminds me of something I was thinking of the other day. It seems that almost every PGA player is a Republican (just another reason to hate golf) and almost every stand up comic is a Democrat. Judging by the unfunny replies in this thread combined with the utter lack of style and personality that PGA pros have, it seems there must be some relation in there somewhere.

Every cock-smoker, unemployed, drug-using, self-pitying, non-productive, free-loading, deadbeat, I've ever come across is a Democrat.
But boy, they have some funny one-liners.

IO- like your sig. Reminds me of one from Way Back in the day..."My gun has killed less ppl than Ted Kennedy's car."
I can't recall at what point it became fashionable and OK to label people of other political persuasions as boring and dumb, slow, etc. PGA Golfers vs. comedians? Cmon, you can do better than that, Nick. BTW, you a republican?
Specifications for a liberal (democrat or not) man:
- Highly artistic (probably gay, but that's something cool nowaday)
- Believes he's better than others, even other liberals.
- Has all the solutions, but no time to implement them since he's very busy. "But if I were in charge...." Ya'll know the rest.
- He's above reproach, especially morally. After all, morality is a subjective term, isn't it?
- He's the savior. Only through his way of thought will the world become a better place.
- There's no "I" in TEAM. But there's no "ME" either.
- Being selfish is good if the ultimate goal is considered a "good" one.
- We must revolt and create changes to counter the impositions placed upon us by the fascist pigs. We are right and we have the power of reason behind us". "They will thank us later, when they understand"
- Take, take, take, but not from me.
- Pseudo-intellectual with a certain Je non se qui that makes him so very intersting, yet rarely brings anything to the table.
- And lastly, cock-smoker, unemployed, drug-using, self-pitying, non-productive, free-loading, deadbeat
I can?t believe some of the lefties have this aura of magnificence and act so patronizing towards so many folks. The desire of intellectual appearance is something I find ridiculous, especially from people who come from backgrounds like Writing, Publicity, Arts, English majors, law, and all that crap. Nothing personally against those in particular but when you bring a background like that as your foundation of intellect and knowledge, I can?t help but laugh my ass off. Gimme a liberal with a science related background or a real problem solving background and I?ll sit and listen, then, of course, I?d destroy his hypothesis. A lawyer, publicist, artist, etc. who never utilizes that God given gift of rationale is going to tell me what to do and how to do it? Most are like parrots, repeating word after word. Probably one of the biggest faults in this country (and many other) is allowing these non-productive (outside of their fields, that is) people to take over most of our politics and political debates. There is no reason to any argument. The main argument is that their ideas are something that?s a ?good? thing to do, when it most likely sucks and is unfeasible. They offer no solutions, not a damn one, and take no other point of view into consideration. They don?t know how to build and they don?t know how to create, so they come in and take over what others have done and slowly and certainly destroy it all. Just lobby and make your idea fashionable, attractive to people, so they don't mid that you control their lives just a little bit more.
Who would most of you vote for in a political race:
A comedian or a PGA Golfer?
:shrug: I pass.
