So it turns out it was a false alarm, patient alpha-beta got a false positive.

So the s -called patient "alpha beta" turns out is indeed NEGATIVE, false alarm. It happens. So no need to trash the porn industry anymore - but try telling that to Mr W

all porno industry workers must use condoms all time during sex acts.testing HIV every month is not protecting workers.how many workers will they want to get infected HIV before industry mandatory use condoms? 100? 1000?

While HIV is very much a concern in the 21st century, the tone of this clip is not helpful. It is sensationalistic and condescending with its "And still they haven't learned," judgmental viewpoint. Why single them out as being riskier and more irresponsible than the thousands of other people who get HIV or have unwanted pregnancies from unprotected sex? For ratings? Weak.

I agree with brianstreetteam, this video is so absurd, very one sided. Weinstein is an idiot. I have donated THOUSANDS of dollards over the years to AHF and to see this idiot be the voice of this organization is such waste.

The large amount of misinformation in this clip is quite disturbing. Assuming that adult producers want to bring harm to the individuals that help them survive is a farce and I am offended to believe that these accusations have been made. NO ONE in the adult industry wants anyone to be exposed to any disease or illness. It is an industry of fantasy and the consumers are the ones that drive the market for no condoms. Also adult performers are independent contractors, not employees.
