Porn Moratorium After HIV-Positive Test From Performer
The adult film industry's trade association has called for a moratorium on filming Wednesday after an actor tested positive for HIV.
The Free Speech Coalition said that it is reaching out to producers to find and test the actor's sex partners, the Associated Press reports.
Sources told industry blog Xbiz that the performer is believed to be a female who is relatively new to the industry. The coalition's executive director, Diane Duke, said the actor is not believed to have been infected on a film set.

Last year, porn star Mr. Marcus, 42, admitted to altering his syphilis-positive test so that he could keep performing. The news prompted the industry to self-impose a 10-day moratorium last August while actors were tested and treated for syphilis. In June of this year, Mr. Marcus was convicted of knowingly exposing two co-stars to syphilis and was sentenced to 30 days in jail.
In November, LA voters passed Measure B, requiring condoms to be worn during porn shoots. The measure was sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
A few porn producers filed a lawsuit to block the implementation of the measure but last week, a federal judge found that the law is constitutional.
