The straight side will just blame it on him even though he's spent his entire 8 year career shooting condom only so that they can continue to shoot bareback.
We should probably also ignore the fact that his girlfriend tested positive before him. Makes it easier to justify, right?

If Cameron took her HIV test on a date earlier than Rod, then of course she would have tested positive before him (which was why we heard about her case first). That doesn't mean Cameron passed HIV to Rod, it could still be that he passed it to her (no one definitively knows what happened yet, and how Rod/Cameron caught the HIV virus in the first place). The answer to the question where the HIV infection came from still needs to be determined.
That is why I find it odd that Peter Acworth would state so assertively:
Quote:
"We can say with some degree of confidence that there was no transmission on set" involving Daily, Acworth said. "Rod Daily wore condoms in all his scenes. The strong indication is that Rod contracted it and transmitted it to Cameron Bay."

I haven't blamed anyone, or said who caused whom to get the HIV virus in this instance. Nonetheless, I believe that it is important to understand where the HIV infection came from in the first place, since I believe that we can all agree that the HIV infection didn't come out of nowhere.
Anyway, I am more concerned that some at Kink are suggesting that people cannot contract HIV through oral sex. That is false according to the Center for Disease Control.

In clarification to the questions brought up here:
1) Kink.com classifies TS shoots as straight shoots, thus requiring PASS tests for all performers. On the TS Seduction shoot of August 1, both Rod and his scene partner in question were marked as available in the PASS system, meaning they had tested negative.
2) Condoms were used in this TS Seduction shoot for all penetrative sex.
3) Aubrey, the TS performer in this shoot, has tested negative again in PASS twice since this time.
4) At kink.com, the Gay (I.e. male/male material aimed at a gay male audience) side of the industry is indeed condom-only for all penetrative sex. This requirement does not cover oral which carries a negligible risk for HIV transmission. But as with all Kink shoots, even something like oral is negotiated in advance by the performers.

Oral Sex Is Not Risk Free
Like all sexual activity, oral sex carries some risk of HIV transmission when one partner is known to be infected with HIV, when either partner?s HIV status is not known, and/or when one partner is not monogamous or injects drugs.
Even though the risk of transmitting HIV through oral sex is much lower than that of anal or vaginal sex, numerous studies have demonstrated that oral sex can result in the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Abstaining from oral, anal, and vaginal sex altogether or having sex only with a mutually monogamous, uninfected partner are the only ways that individuals can be completely protected from the sexual transmission of HIV. However, by using condoms or other barriers between the mouth and genitals, individuals can reduce their risk of contracting HIV or another STD through oral sex.
Oral Sex is a Common Practice
Oral sex involves giving or receiving oral stimulation (i.e., sucking or licking) to the penis, the vagina, and/or the anus. Fellatio is the technical term used to describe oral contact with the penis. Cunnilingus is the technical term which describes oral contact with the vagina. Anilingus (sometimes called ?rimming?) refers to oral-anal contact.
Studies indicate that oral sex is commonly practiced by sexually active male-female and same-gender couples of various ages, including adolescents. Although there are only limited national data about how often adolescents engage in oral sex, some data suggest that many adolescents who engage in oral sex do not consider it to be ?sex;? therefore they may use oral sex as an option to experience sex while still, in their minds, remaining abstinent. Moreover, many consider oral sex to be a safe or no-risk sexual practice.
In a national survey of teens conducted for The Kaiser Family Foundation, 26% of sexually active 15- to 17-year-olds surveyed responded that one ?cannot become infected with HIV by having unprotected oral sex,? and an additional 15% didn?t know whether or not one could become infected in that manner.
Oral Sex and the Risk of HIV Transmission
The risk of HIV transmission from an infected partner through oral sex is much less than the risk of HIV transmission from anal or vaginal sex. Measuring the exact risk of HIV transmission as a result of oral sex is very difficult.
Additionally, because most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities.
Finally, several co-factors may increase the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex, including: oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other STDs. What is known is that HIV has been transmitted through fellatio, cunnilingus, and anilingus.
Other STDs Can Also Be Transmitted From Oral Sex
In addition to HIV, other STDs can be transmitted through oral sex with an infected partner. Examples of these STDs include herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts (HPV), intestinal parasites (amebiasis), and hepatitis A.
Oral Sex and Reducing the Risk of HIV Transmission
The consequences of HIV infection are life-long. If treatment is not initiated in a timely manner, HIV can be extremely serious and life threatening. However, there are steps you can take to lower the risk of getting HIV from oral sex.
Generally, the use of a physical barrier during oral sex can reduce the risk of transmission of HIV and other STDs. A latex or plastic condom may be used on the penis to reduce the risk of oral-penile transmission.
If your partner is a female, a cut-open condom or a dental dam can be used between your mouth and the vagina. Similarly, regardless of the sex of your partner, if your mouth will come in contact with your partner?s anus, a cut-open condom or dental dam can be used between your mouth and the anus.
At least one scientific article has suggested that plastic food wrap may be used as a barrier to protect against herpes simplex virus during oral-vaginal or oral-anal sex. However, there are no data regarding the effectiveness of plastic food wrap in decreasing transmission of HIV and other STDs in this manner and it is not manufactured or approved by the FDA for this purpose.
