If you were looking to become a porn star, now would not be a good time. Two actors have recently tested positive for HIV, sending a panic throughout Van Nuys, California, the Rome of porn. AIDS is, I guess, something of an occupational hazard in the adult film industry. This is especially true when you engage in receptive anal sex with multiple partners as several porn stars have done prior to learning of their HIV+ status.

Some adult video companies have announced a moratorium on shooting movies, while actors that had contact with their infected colleagues will be sexually quarantined from other performers for several months. These are all steps in the right direction, but the industry might want to consider an approach that I've come up with: stop filming scenes of unprotected anal sex between multiple participants who've bedded dozens of other people in the last six months. I know, I know--this is really thinking outside the box, but this is just the type of unconventional plan that might work.
