3 infected with hiv at a shoot
 

saw this on another board

its such a big deal in the US if one porn star gets hiv, its in all the papers, but when it happens in the uk, you dont hear about it

imagine the time between getting the phone call and the test done, then finding out


Three young male actors, aged 18, 21 and 26,
were infected with HIV whilst making a British
bareback gay porn film last month. The boys
were performing alongside a 26 year old actor who
had tested negative several weeks before production,
but it later transpired that he was HIV positive at the
time of filming.

Boyz has learnt that only three days after shooting
had finished, the actor undertook a routine monthly
HIV test, only to discover that the result was positive.
He then alerted the DVD company’s director, who
rushed his other young stars to hospital to undergo a
rarely used 48-hour HIV test which it is claimed can
detect HIV within hours of infection, by looking for the
virus’ DNA. All three co-stars were then informed that
their tests were also positive.

ouch! :(

that's pretty gay...

Well, that news certanly would take the gay out of being gay.

Im sorry to say this but WTF did they expect?? " Three young male actors, aged 18, 21 and 26, were infected with HIV whilst making a British bareback gay porn film "


They have better odds playing Russian Roulette with a semi auto pistol.

I know someone who was exposed to the virus roughly a year ago and found out imediatly afterwards. He went to the clinic and was put on a drug cocktail for I think about a month or two and luckily is still negative to this day.

If it's true it's horrible, and I'm not an authority on the disease or anything, but if it were true would they still be putting out the DVD?

Just seems sensationalized. :2 cents:

Hell, that really sucks :(

wow, that must be so hard to go through. :(

and to think of all the LB's i've barebacked and i still test NEGATIVE...

BB4L!

Better pre-shoot testing is needed.

agree!!!

they should of sticked to jerking off eachother rather than shove his cock in the butt.

I feel for those guys..HIV is a bad news..:-(

damn! that sucks!

These things can be easily be avoided by the use of a condom

*gasp* Damn shame...poor kids

damn... that sucks..

thats really bad news to get..:(

That's fucked up...

all for the $$..shame

Geez, that's fucked. Maybe the newer HIV DNA-based test should become the industry standard?

That's crazy... you would think there might be testing done

bareback is insane.

really? what makes you think that?

very sad story but I always thought that even in case of bareback sex the chance of HIV transmission is still relatively small, so I wonder why all 3 guys got infected? or should i assume that actually 30 guys participated in the shoot and 3 got infected?

oh wow...thats crazy.

:( :( :( :(

It sucks, but part of the risk in this biz ...

I bet someone must have been a bleeder.

:throwup

I am very sorry to hear that.

:(

Aren't most gay male porn stars HIV positive? I remember reading somewhere that some studios won't even hire you if you are negative.

poor guys:( :( :(

Very true. I used to work at a federal hospital and one of the docs accidently stuck himself with a needle that had been used on a AIDS patient. The doctor was given a cocktail. It was really weird. He told me that he and his wife had to take horse size pills, sit in a bath tub with ice and after all that his skin started to get scabby and peel. The next time he was tested everything came back negative. At first I thought yeah right but then it happened again to another nurse and the same thing. There is a cure but the gov't along with hospitals are keeping it under wraps.
