HIV Shuts Down Porn Sets
<snip>

ADULT movie producers agreed to shut down sets for weeks after two performers tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS.

At least 45 men and women were under voluntary quarantine because they had sex with the HIV-positive performers or their sex partners, Sharon Mitchell of the non-profit Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation said yesterday.

The first performer to test positive, whom Mitchell declined to name, was "conscientious" about having HIV tests every three weeks, she said. On April 9 he tested positive for HIV and a follow-up test on Monday confirmed it, Mitchell said.

Mitchell confirmed later that one of about a dozen women the performer had sex with in films also tested HIV-positive.

A list of quarantined performers was placed on the website of the foundation, which screens about 1200 adult movie performers a month for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

1. Why are you trying to make light of this?
Aids is a horrible thing and I blame the porn industry for advertising having sex with whoever you like, whenever you like, and whereever you like. It's bound to happen with pornstars fucking everybody and anybody to make an extra buck. It's legalized prostitution I say!

5. What's a freeper?
I don't understand this secret backdoor language. Excuse me if I have a problem with the porn industry, would you like to see your daughter on the pole naked with a bunch of horny men throwing money at her?

8. What's a freeper?
The more you keep using that term the more confused I get. I am assuming a freeper is someone that doesn't tow the DemocraticUnderground.com opinion line? I find it sad if being against the porno industry is that.

9. Please don't say "backdoor"
It turns some of us on.

BTW, I doubt a woman "on the pole naked with a bunch of horny men throwing money at her" is a likely source for HIV infection. BUt then again, I'm no doctor.

12. Quite being so damn condescending
Who in their right mind wants their daughter to be a stripper? You extract the HIV infection by having unprotected sex with infected partners which is where the porn mag. and movie industry comes in.

13. Yes. Quite.
I've never heard of HIV transmission (apparently, you also see it as "extraction," which is a wholly new concept to me, also!) through porn magazines, either. Those pages must be loaded with fecundating fluids!

This is a N.E. Journal of Medicine adventure for me already.

20. Yes. I'm Dr. Condescending Rice
nice to meet you.

Dr. Rice always takes HIV seriously. So seriously that she knows magazines and dancing around poles have little to do with its transmission. Or, as you would prefer, extraction.

Have a nice day.

26. You're right. We just can't
We hang with Larry's posse when we take time of from our misadventures with Snoop. And then we insist on talking about truthful modes of HIV transmission instead of mythological ones like dancing around poles or porn magazines.

You're right. *WE* can't have a serious discussion about it. Indeed.

I graduated from USC and continued to take courses their years after. You would be surprised of my knowledge on the issue of aids and other sexually tramitted diseases. Call me whatever you want but if you call me uneducated it makes you look bad.

35. Yes, we "so-called 'progressives'"
are frequently disappointing. How could we not be? We are part of Larry Flynt's posse--we might even push him around on that gold wheel chair!--and we dance around poles while reading dirty dirty dirty magazines. Sometimes we listen to that heathen music, that so-called "rock and roll" the kids clamor about. I think it leads to fornication and HIV extraction, too!

Please! Cover the statue's breasts! And never say "backdoor" again!

43. Oh I wish I knew how to respond!
There are so many things I want to say, Mr. Stan Beamen. For example, I don't know that I've been called "missy" for a while. It's a strange way to infantalize women, but it's not too surprizing from someone who objects to women dancing around poles.

No need to apologize for mentioning sticking dick in whatever holes. As long as our partner consents, you don't have to look to me for approval. Just stick that hole with a hoodie, knowhatimsayin, boi?

Whatever, Mr. Stan Beaman. I guess you'll just have to look out for those young women, won't you? But it won't change the fact that those young women (a.k.a. "piece of meat with boobies") won't "extract" HIV from the men looking at her--i.e., those who don't appreciate the art.
