Herpes, do all "pornstars" have it?

[Quotealex]

If one in five adult in the United States have herpes, I'm assuming all pornstars/content girls must have it! I mean if the average pornstar/content girls do a dozen unprotected scenes a month, then it is almost a certainty she already has herpes, Am I right?

[just a punk]

There are many people that can not be affected by Herpes at all.

[BV]

i see that commercial

i think even a fever blister is a form of herpes

i dont have herpes but there are 4 othe rpeople on my road and from the looks of it i dont think they have herpes either

something is fucked up with that 1 in 5 shit

[Amber Kelly]

"Herpes" does the whole world have it. You know these were girls live in the same society as everyone else, they get such a hard time. I know more people with GW and Herpes outside the Porn Business than in it.

They said 1 in 5 have GENITAL herpes. Not any kind of herpes.

Considering the high % of girsl that now fuck black dudes and the fact that the CDC said nearly 50% of black men have herpes I would say yes that most porn girls have herpes.

thank you Amber.
most "porn girls" or "working girls" that I know are way more careful and clean than others..

[Evil E]

I think Rocco once said that pretty much everyone in the biz(talent) has it.

Even if they don't look affected they can be contagious.

[CaptainHowdy]

Someone should make a list...

Here's the list Captain

Sometimes it returns once in two years, sometimes two times a month.

[payd2purv]

Mmmmm porno girls...

[camgirlshide]

presumably, with aim testing the occurance rate in porn stars should be lower than that of the general population.

40% of the news reporters have it, so they don't like to talk about it.

[nexxus]

Well I don't have it....one of you four must.

[warlock5]

None of you read the Belladonna Myspace blog thing?

I definitely don't believe that "one out of five people" statistic. I think that's just a scare tactic.

Even so, just the numbers of partners they have that the average person will never even come close to brings the odds for them to have/catch it higher than the general population.

I agree, it seems ludicrous that genital herpes would be so widespread. The only way I could fathom this statistic is it if it were inclusive of all kinds of herpes.

From AMI web site
When you first start you should be screened for herpes, and if positive should be medicated while working as you can infect someone 72 hours before the outbreak occurs (which is how most people get it). BTW the amount of herpes 1&2 is no greater or less than the general public, which is about 60%. If you are negative for herpes, we also suggest taking the meds prophylactic, (to protect yourself from acquiring the virus.)

The reason it isn't classed as an epidemic is because it's not a dangerous virus in most all cases and there is no known cure.

Scientists recently figured out how it manages to lie dormant evading detection from the immune system only to sporadically become active as and when it feels like it...Link

[beemk]

i thought porn girls have to get tested every 2 weeks?

[SomeCreep]

Yes, all female and male pornstars have either genital herpes or genital warts. It's so common, they don't even consider it a disease.

[JeffCliff]

The upper echelon of the pornography industry has a huge amount of checks for STDs, and if anyone is found to have one of the ones that as of yet does not have a cure they are put on a blacklist that is distributed to all other producers. This is also why you see some stars come and go for a time, they are under review if they have happed to have had sex with someone who has been caught with an STD and they can't be used until they are cleared. That being said, there are also numerous companies that work with porn stars that have specific STDs so if two porn stars have JUST herpes they will be able to work together without caring about spreading it their partners. Of course these aren't the mainstream sites you see online, and you probably don't know which sites they are either.

Believe it. Unlike other sexually transmitted diseases, condoms do a fairly inadequate job of protecting against the spread of genital herpes or genital warts. Some people get warts or herpes on the inner part of their thighs, others on their ass or asshole, and yet others on their nutsack. During sex, those parts of the body rub up against each other, and the STD is passed through skin to skin contact.

The tests are mainly for AIDS from what I understand.

[pimpD]

herpes can be a lot of things, even HPV. basically everyone has come in contact with HPV. normally your immune system fights it off.

so i think the 1 in 5 statistic is a little manipulative

[rayadp05]

The 1 in 5 statistic is bullshit. Unless that is, your talking about 1 in 5 hookers. I would agree with that....but average everyday people? Hell no.

I dunno but i know i've got it "

Well, the CDC cite it...

http://www.cdc.gov/STD/Trends2000/herpes.htm

More than one in five Americans-45 million people-are infected with genital herpes
In 1999, the estimated prevalence was 19 percent among the general U.S. population ages 14 to 49 years old

I believe they base that on the a-symptomatic people also that carry it and don't get break outs and have no clue.

Paris Hilton has it. lol (I guess that would be a given)

The stats for oral herpes are even higher. (If you ever had a cold sore, you got herpes). I might be stating the obvious but a lot of people don't know that, I didn't know until a few years ago that cold sores were herpes.

[bloggingseo]

I don't believe everything the CDC says is "the gospel". I think they err just like every other government agency. I think most of their stats are accurate, but this is one I'm pretty sure is off at least to some degree.

Bingo.

Herpes and HPV you can pretty much count on if you are in the industry. And for everyone who says, "I've never caught anything" while defending how safe the industry is, has never had an outbreak or is full of shit. One or the other.

You can carry both the herpes (I & II) and HPV virus and never show a single symptom.

And why doesn't the industry test for Hepatitis B and C? Hep kills more people than HIV every year, yet our industry does not have mandatory testing for it. In fact, nobody even talks about it.

The bottom line is, if you think the people in this industry care about anything other than making a buck, you are sadly mistaken. Actually, I'll give you a 4% window for the few good people out there in porno land. Everyone else is dog shit.

Yea, because "normal" girls can't get STDs.

Wake up man. Educate yourself.

Most people get oral herpes as a child. You ever get a sore on your lip? That is herpes. A "cold sore" is a nice way of saying it because people like you don't want to hear that everyone has herpes.

Condoms don't protect you for Herpes or HPV. So why wouldn't something like that spread like a wild fire?

Truth be told, and I speak from vast experience, most "normal" girls will bareback a guy with no questions asked. While the majority hookers use condoms, no exceptions. The handful of times I've been burned by drippy dick, it's ALWAYS been with normal chicks. Go figure.

And one more question for ya? Who do you think is fucking all the hookers and coming home to fuck their normal girlfriends and wives? Keep in mind, condoms don't protect from Herpes or HPV. Well my friend, "normal" guys are fucking all these hookers. Not porn stars or male hookers, but regular guys with familes, real jobs and with no connection to the porn world.

[tranza]

Good question!

[moneybiz]

Well I know 3 girls I went to highschool with who are in porn now and I know for a fact they have herpes because they gave it to my friends as well as other things. I also have seen them fuck guys without condoms. One of the girls I know I actually talk to her everyonce in a while and she said they just test for hiv. But hiv is a slowly propigating disease so even if you are tested you can still have traces of the virus growing inside of you. I am pretty sure most pornstars do not live long lives.

[Martin]

Herpes fucking sucks. I get one that pops up now and then on my lip. Looks like I got popped in the face for talking drunk shit to the wrong guy for a week or so. Thankfully I don't have the type you get on your junk..


(yet)

1-5 eh

I saw that shit the other day, too! I went to the beach with my family for over a week and there were about 30 of us in the house. Some of my cousins and I were sitting around a coffee table on the floor playing cards with the TV on, and I heard that in the background and freaked out.

Nobody believed me and they all kept saying I had heard it wrong. Two of my cousins are fucking doctors, and they even said it was probably talking about both kinds. So for the next 3 days I was making everybody listen for the herpes commercial until we finally heard it again.
