Yesterday, the day after veteran performer Darren James was confirmed as HIV-positive, the adult industry was attempting to ascertain how far the virus may have spread, knowing that certain knowledge that it the virus hasn?t spread won?t come until June.

I'm honestly surprised that something like this hasn't happened earlier.

The site seems to be offline.  I am not surprised either.

Its happened before. The difference today is that there are actually rules and guidelines now such as mandatory testings n such.

Before it was fair game, no one bothered testing and if they did and were positive they really didn't HAVE to tell anyone.

I can't recall the name atm but there was a guy in the 70s/80s I believe that was pretty popular and contracted AIDS yet continued to perform with multiple women who had no clue.

It still is not 100% safe today but at least they try to contain it and minimize the problems . :thumb:

I'm sure it probably has, but wasn't reported.

With more performers working now than ever, its inevitable.
