For the second time since 2010, the porn industry based in Southern California has virtually shut down because an unidentified performer has been diagnosed with HIV. The industry largely self-regulates and has been quite successful in ensuring that sex performers are free of transmittable diseases. However, a similar case last year also resulted in a shut down. The case means that the sex partners of the infected person will all have to be tested, as will the sex partners of those people as well. There is a drive to get enough signatures for a ballot initiative in the state that, if passed, will mandate that actors in porn films wear condoms.
