One month after an adult-film actress tested HIV-positive the AIDS Healthcare Foundation pushed for more enforcement on the use of condoms during filming of adult movies. Since 2004, 18 HIV cases and more than 3,700 chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases have been reported by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM). AIM is a clinic that tests adult-video performers, and has been criticized for not cooperating with health officials in the past. Adult-video performers are 10 times more likely than other people to contract an STD, and many performers acquire multiple infections each year. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is concerned that the adult-film industry is not doing all that it can to protect it’s employees during the production of these videos.
