They want to outlaw all contact with semen, including oral!

But now that the agency is getting involved, it has two main regulations that would apply to the porn industry: illness-prevention program requirements and the blood-borne pathogen standard, Gard said.
The illness-prevention program requires employers to have written policies on reducing workplace hazards. The blood-borne pathogen standard requires use of universal precautions by people who come in contact with semen, vaginal secretions, blood and other bodily fluids that may transmit diseases.
"If you think of nursing or the healthcare industry, they have to use universal precautions," Gard said. "That means you always use a rubber glove when they draw blood."
In addition to a condoms-only policy, enforcement of existing state regulations would require porn producers to bear the costs of any testing, vaccinations and medical care associated with their employees in the workplace, Kerndt said.It would also mean an end to practices in some pornographic movies that involve contact with semen.
