saw this on another board
its such a big deal in the US if one porn star gets hiv, its in all the papers, but when it happens in the uk, you dont hear about it
imagine the time between getting the phone call and the test done, then finding out
Three young male actors, aged 18, 21 and 26,
were infected with HIV whilst making a British
bareback gay porn film last month. The boys
were performing alongside a 26 year old actor who
had tested negative several weeks before production,
but it later transpired that he was HIV positive at the
time of filming.
Boyz has learnt that only three days after shooting
had finished, the actor undertook a routine monthly
HIV test, only to discover that the result was positive.
He then alerted the DVD company?s director, who
rushed his other young stars to hospital to undergo a
rarely used 48-hour HIV test which it is claimed can
detect HIV within hours of infection, by looking for the
virus? DNA. All three co-stars were then informed that
their tests were also positive.
