LOS ANGELES - An appeals court says the courts can't compel public health officials to require and enforce condom use in porn.

The June 16 ruling by the 2nd District Court of Appeals in Los Angeles upholds dismissal of a case brought against county health officials in 2009 by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

In its suit, AHF contended the officials should be compelled by the court to issue a regulatory order requiring adult film performers to wear condoms in sex scenes and get hepatitis B vaccinations.

The appeals court said the county health officer has discretion in his duty to prevent and control disease.

The advocacy group's lawyer Brian Chase says the case will be appealed to the state Supreme Court.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health did not immediately provide comment.

Wow, do you have permission to publish this image and disclose this information? I hope so, you could get into real trouble for this, me thinks. (not that I would know anything about it, I'm just a former hospital administrator...

Hepatitis B vaccination is a no brainer.

Porn films are not made for the pleasure of the performers... (although it does look better if they enjoy the experience.)

Porn valley porn isn't typically made for their enjoyment, but maybe it should be. DVDs like Tristan Taormino's Guide to (Insert Sex Act Here) show real pleasure and it's probably the hottest kind of porn out there. But that's sort of a non-sequitor. Carry on!

With piracy, Cal/Osha, 2257, .xxx, AHF, and the Economy, porn-making seems like it is being raped:-(.

IMO, the thirst for new faces often seen in California porn will possibly be replaced by foreign porn, some of which might be harsher and might connote to viewers that lovemaking means choking and other physical actions which is not sexy or good for younger adults to adopt as "normal":-(.
