The fact is, we are all selling sex, it is what our industry is all about and it certainly would not hurt our position in the adult industry to do what we can to promote safe sex to our surfers. Even if it stops one person from getting HIV AIDS, that in turn could stop hundreds or even thousands of others catching it that the one person infects. So in my mind it's a worthwhile cause not just to help our standing to the mainstream, but also to help rid the world of a horrible disease that is affecting millions of people all over the world.
As for the children, supporting the fight against HIV will help thousands of kids from dying, in fact in countries like Africa it's one of the leading causes of infant deaths:

Asia has more hungry kids, but most die in Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa has fewer hungry children than Southeast Asia, where gender discrimination forces mothers to survive on poor diets, according to a food security researcher.
"Women in Southeast Asia eat least and the least [so they give birth to undernourished children]," explained Doris Weismann, author of the Global Hunger Index, released on Friday by the International Food Policy Research Institute, a US-based think-tank.
The index, which measures malnutrition by taking into account the child's physical development and intake of vitamins and minerals, covers 97 developing nations and 22 countries in transition.
However, more children in sub-Saharan Africa were dying because of the high incidence of diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS, Weismann said.
