NEWS RELEASE – Desi and Elli Foxx Retire from Porn Valley Due to HIV Outbreak

Shelley: My new sweet friend Desi Foxx wrote me an email about her and her daughter Elli’s retirement from porn and I just had to share some of it with you. Please keep Desi and Elli in your prayers as they rebuild their lives.

From Desi:

Elli and I spoke about this at length during our trip to NYC www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=35558 and we came to the same conclusion. It would be totally irresponsible of us to continue to perform in porn now that we are aware of the unreported risks of HIV (not to mention the Hep C case I’ve previously reported) and knowing what lengths the industry goes to in order to get their scene!! It’d be playing russian roulette!!

Today, June 20th, 2009, Elli and I officially announce our retirement from the Porn Industry. We will no longer shoot scenes and we will not support their actions by continuing to work in an industry with no true regulation. We take this stand now in hopes of making a statement for all the world to see their gross indifference for our lives..

IF THE PORN INDUSTRY CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE AND POLICE THEMSELVES, THERE NEEDS TO BE LEGISLATION TO MANDATE CONDOMS, THE ABILITY TO USE ANY ACCREDITED MEDICAL LAB FOR TESTING, TESTING OF ALL STDS, not just a few, AND MAKING THE PRODUCTION COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THESE RULES THROUGH INSPECTIONS AND FINES AND/OR CLOSURE OF COMPANIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE!!

There is a powerpoint presentation from the LA Health Department regarding HIV and STD exposure to industry workers that is definitely an eye opener, to say the least. See video below.

My understanding of STD reporting has always been that all STDs must be reported to the local Health Department which in turn reports to the CDC, who monitors the cases and decides if action or quarantine is necessary. AIM did not do this in any of the18 unreported HIV cases in Porn Valley. We were all working under the mistaken belief that there were no HIV cases since 2004. This is our health and our lives which Elli and I value too much to continue this type of risk.

We will continue to watch and report the unfolding of the coverup by AIM because we have many friends who are still there working in Porn Valley. God Bless and Be Safe!!
