LOS ANGELES — The adult film industry announced a moratorium on the making of porn films Wednesday after an actor tested positive for HIV. The performer was not immediately identified and officials didn’t say when the positive test was recorded. The actor’s sex partners are currently being tested by doctors with Adult Production Health and Safety Services, which works with the porn industry. “The moratorium will be lifted once the risk of transmission has been eliminated,” Diane Duke, executive director of the industry trade group the Free Speech Coalition, told The Associated Press in an email. She added that the actor is not believed to
have been infected on a film set. The industry briefly put a similar moratorium in place last year after nearly a dozen performers were infected during a syphilis outbreak. Word of the latest moratorium quickly drew critical responses from porn industry opponents. Among them was Michael Weinstein, whose group the AIDS Healthcare Foundation success-
fully lobbied voters last year to adopt an ordinance requiring actors use condoms in the making of most porn films. “How many adult film performers have to become infected with an array of preventable sexually transmitted diseases — including HIV, which is not curable — before the porn industry actually complies with the law requiring condom use,” he said in a statement. Since the ordinance’s adoption, county officials have said they are investigating one violation. Assemblyman Isadore Hall III, who is pushing for the state to adopt a similar law, called Wednesday’s news “devastating and preventable.”
