As per medical experts, it is essential to have a glimpse at the porn industry. The porn field has been implementing testing techniques that were used in the 1980 and ’90s of the HIV crisis. This has greatly enabled actors of the industry to protect themselves from the ongoing pandemic crisis.
Mike Stabile of the Free Speech Coalition stated that: “When we first started talking about COVID, we felt very well prepared because we have a whole history of testing within the industry as well as contact tracing and production shut-downs.”
Beginning in the 80’s all the adult film stars, creators and producers had ensured to live amidst in the HIV spread those days.
Speaking on this Humphry Knipe novelist and creator of porn movies stated that: “[During that time] we had the ‘Blood Truck’ at casting calls,” and “It was an ambulance that drew blood. But you’d have to wait two weeks for results.”
The testing protocols which were done back in those decades seek the need for antibodies in the blood which means that it took months to know whether an actor was HIV positive.
Besides when a porn star faked an HIV tests new rules were framed and implemented.
