In the Los Angeles Times today came the terrifying news that there has been another outbreak of HIV in the US porn industry.
It's time to stop burying our heads in the sand and thinking it won't happen to the Uk as it's a smaller industry. We need to take action and make changes now to ENSURE it won't happen!
At the moment performers are expected to be tested every 30 days and show a valid certificate of clear health on the sets of many UK producers...However not every producer insists upon this and there is still a 3 month window for some sti's to appear positive.
Lets close this window further by encouraging the use of condoms on ALL porn film/stills sets/
This is also applicable to those who have an active sex life, if you don't have a regular trusted partner that has been tested for all sti's always rubber up!
And don't forget sti's can also be transferred by oral sex between females. Ask your local clinic about free dental dams - a thin rubber sheaf so you can work and play safe!
If you have any concerns or want to find local clinics that support the certiification make your first port of call http://www.ukadultproducers.com/
Come on everyone please sign - and producers please support us performers in this!
