HIV isn't anywhere until it is. And if heroin is popular these days among the models, then you're sitting on a time bomb.
However many HIV+ performers you've had in x amount of time is irreverent, because one is too many for "professionals." "Professionals" wouldn't have any. But it's not a group of professionals, it's a group of people winging it with professionals scattered about in the mix.
No use in sugar coating the reality of the situation, which is people in porn are
very sexually promiscuous. Many of the girls escort, and all of the guys (as all guys are) are whores. The kind of guy driven to be in the porn industry doesn't stop fucking when the camera cuts, regardless of what anyone says or thinks. It just doesn't work that way. Sexually charged people can't turn that off. It's always there, they are always going to have risky sex with multiple partners. ALWAYS. And they are not going to tell you or their agent 75% of the freaky shit they do or the risks they take. That is human nature 101.
Everyone has secrets.
And that doesn't even take into account all the closet bi-sexual dudes out there that NO ONE, not even their agents and producers, know about. And who's keeping track of the guys going out of the country, like coming to Thailand on "holiday" when in reality they are fucking ladyboys? I could ruin a career or two in a heartbeat if I wanted to be an asshole, but what they do in their personal life isn't anyone's business. And no one in Porn Valley knows the wiser.
I'm not dogging anyone for being a slut, 'cause I'm a slut. And Buddha bless each and every one of them. But saying they are responsible in their personal life, even in the slightest, or that their agent would know everything they do, is just absurd. I've personally barebacked more LA porn girls off cam over the years than I should have, so I know exactly what these girls do when it's just you and them in a hotel room. And everyone in the business knows this too but most won't talk about just how reckless everyone really is because they don't want to lose work over it. Whores are whores, and porn girls are usually the biggest whores of them all. No disrespect to them, and I
love dirty girls like that, but most of them are complete cum sluts and they know it.
People who take risks will always take risks. And that is why HIV will always haunt the industry regardless of whatever testing methods are put into place.
It's a roll of the dice, that's all. Every day, every shoot, every test, it's all just a gamble. Your tests are only as good as the client your girl barebacked the night before, or as clean as the needle she used to shoot up with between her toes, or as safe as the bi-sexual male performer the night before when he took a load in his ass from another dude or shemale. Roll the dice, maybe it will work out. Maybe it won't. Nothing none of you can do about it either way.

The same exact thing that you buy in the U.S. is 2 or 3 times cheaper in every other country in the world.
Same thing goes for medical procedures, hospital stays, etc.
There is a HUGE medical tourism industry in Tijuana for instance. One minute you're in San Diego visiting a doctor. A short ten minute drive across the border and you can get the same treatment for half the cost.
You should see it...when you first drive across the border into Tijuana it looks like Disneyland of doctors and pharmacies.
And I read there is an even bigger medical tourism industry in India. People from the U.S. are flying there in large numbers to have major surgeries done at 1/10th the cost of the U.S.
You can google around on that and it will blow your mind.
They have complete packages set up with first class air fare, a 5 star resort for you to stay at while you recuperate, etc. and with air fare and hotel included you still save a hundred grand on heart surgery for instance!

Yep.
India, Singapore, Mexico, Thailand, and so on. Medical tourism is exploding globally right now. Something to think about in terms of investing.
