California's porn industry HIV scare
By David Willis
BBC, Los Angeles

The adult movie industry in Los Angeles generates nearly half as much revenue as mainstream Hollywood, but it was dealt a blow recently when five actors were diagnosed as HIV-positive.

Los Angeles in California is home to a thriving porn industry
We had our invitation, street name and house number. All that remained was to agree a time.

"Come early," our host advised, "before the orgy begins."

And so I found myself at a large secluded house one chilly Wednesday morning, producer and cameraman in tow.

1. these are the same 5 people from months ago
My understanding is the 5 acquired the virus on location in Brazil rather than California but maybe this is just gossip.

But in any case there are no new HIV infections and Lord alone knows how many videos are being filmed every day, so it seems fairly safe to me. Safer than working as a clerk in a convenience store which is probably where some of these people would-ve ended up if not for porn.
