Condoms & Porn

[jimbo46]

Is it just me or does there seem to be not allot of condoms being used in transsexual porn & porn in general videos seems like a very big risk to be taking. With Aids still very prevalent in our world today. Yes I know using condoms does not guarantee you wont get HIV or Aids when having anal sex or vaginal sex

It seems customers more likes condom less porn and porn industry just follow customers taste. I agree, there is no 100% safety. Maybe actors, who do bareback porn do it in their closed circle and all members inside circle don't have AIDS. If no one is cheating, than there is some safety to not get AIDS with their constant porn partners.

For legitimate porn shoots in the United States, the actors are required to produce proof of testing for HIV and other STDs before the cameras are turned on. This process is constant and unwavering.

You still can be HIV- on tests {if you have just been infected}
This is when you have the highest HIV viral load and be most infectious.

Paradoxically, a person can therefore be more at risk of getting HIV from sex with such a person
than with a person who is HIV+ and therefore with a lower viral load.

The mandatory tests do not protect the actors.
They are to protect the film producers from being sued by actors getting infected by other actors
{Look we did all we could. The other actor tested HIV- Its not our fault ...don't mention condoms }

HIV can show up on tests within 48 hours of infection.
But this is only 75% of the time.
It can take up to three months (and very occasionally six months) after infection, for HIV to show up in tests.
And in the mean time, an individual is hugely infectious.

It's Russian roulette for the actors, period.




HIV cause/prevention is part of my job remit.

Yes, there's an RNA test these days that's much faster than the old one.

It's a risk no matter how you slice it, but many occupations carry significant risks that you can manage up to a certain point and then have to accept them.
