When it became public that a porn actor had tested positive for HIV last month, the news sent shockwaves rippling through the adult film industry, to the point of shutting down production. The “Los Angeles Times” reported that officials within the industry had confirmed that a quarantine was in effect.
It goes without saying that HIV testing facilities in California were operating on overload in the wake of that announcement. Indeed, the newspaper article stated that “all exposed partners to the individual who tested positive for HIV” were in the process of being tested for the virus.
