Porn Valley- Posted on www.pornlegends.com: Miss Arroyo tested positive for HIV after having sex with Darren James. At last Friday’s industry hearings she claimed that AIM Health Care had lied to her. Her contention was that James, with a negative test, was green-lighted to work with her only to test positive days later. Actually, AIM didn’t lie to her. James’ negative test result fell into AIM’s thirty-day testing window. However, AIM’s resident sexologist, Sharon Mitchell, told reporters, “She took work in a high risk production.” That’s true, but couldn’t every adult production in which bodily fluid is exchanged be considered “high risk”?
Something also to consider… If Arroyo did refuse to work, wouldn’t that production company have hired another actor to replace her? By doing the scene, thus resulting in her getting HIV, did Arroyo prevent another actor from getting the disease? For those who can’t decipher the answers to the questions, the answers are “yes.”
Flip Flop…Free Speech Coalition’s Kat Sunlove continues to twist and turn more than an Olympic diver. At Friday’s hearings, she said that any government mandates would force the industry underground and out of the state of California. But she was quoted in the LA Daily News, dated April 26, that “Regulation in and of itself is not a dirty word to us. We are concerned that whatever regulations are put in place are reasonable and fair, and most of all, they are effective.”
She went on to say that the industry would oppose attempts to require the use of condoms when filming. BUT, she said, the state might consider incentives to encourage their use, such as tax breaks for the cost of HIV testing and other measures that would make it good business sence for producers to require or encourage the use of condoms. We guess lowering the health risks to the actors isn’t reasonable, fair, or effective unless it involves a tax break.
We find it ironic that the people protesting the most about government mandates are the individuals that have the most to gain financially and are the least at risk when it comes to their own health. It’s kind of like when members of congress vote in favor of going to war, knowing full well that they’ll never see combat.
