The details matter to those of you working in LA currently, but the media and AHF doesn't care and will paint it to be a porn problem. They already have. That is what he is trying to say. And what the media says, is the truth as far as the public sees it, and it gives AHF more ammo to nail the condom coffin shut and rally more support for their cause.
You're already working with condoms, so you're already
way ahead of the curve, but the choice of working with or without them for everyone else is going to be taken away, even though these cases were not caused from a porn set. For some insane reason most of you can't get that simple fact through your heads, that outside your tiny one dimensional porn bubble, it doesn't matter how they caught it. Go read the headlines right now, as far as the world is concerned it's a porn problem. These people who are anti-porn and pro-condom have an agenda and all of this plays right into their hands while you guys make proud comments about it not being an industry issue, or that the info being released is false.
For as smart as some of you guys are, you're very detached from out the outside world actually works. Perception is
everything. Every tiny thing that happens to someone in the business, on set or off, can be used against you.
"
5 junkies from Arizona caught HIV" doesn't get clicks. However, "
HIV outbreak in the porn industry - 5 performers HIV+" does.
It probably will be, and again, the headlines will read, "
Porn Valley resumes work despite 5 HIV+ performers." And that is what everyone will believe.
