I just dug up an old trailer we had made.... figure it was timely now.

Click here to see Mark Mateo 8 months before the HIV outbreak in the industry.

That reminds me Mike....where are all those Purecash TV episodes stored at? Im looking for 2 episodes in particular... need to get ready for ATLANTA!!!

We have been working on some new episodes as well. Things have been very hectic over here!

Ill have one for you in a few days hehehehee

The fact that performers aren't tested before every shoot would be enough to give me the condom only attitude if I were in that side of the business, that is for sure.

But overall, as Jenna mentioned, the industry has a much lower rate of infection than the general population, and if you think about how much sex actually goes on in the industry as a per capita versus the general population, they've at least been doing a decent job.

I know of a few good ones that are just waiting to appear : )

Even if they were tested before every shoot, It would still possible for an outbreak like this to happen..(although I doubt it would be as widespread as this so quickly)

It's my understanding that HIV antibodies could still be undetectable for a week or more after contracting the virus. If someone was exposed and contracted HIV 3 days ago a clean HIV test today doesn't mean anything.

My prediction is that porn shot in the US will be with condoms. I wouldn't be surprised if a few studios get their asses sued off in this mess. I think a court determining that a studio is liable for their actor's contracting HIV during a shoot will be all it takes to get condoms and dental dams in movies shot in the US.

If that happens I'm sure a lot of the shoots will move off shore, because customers probably prefer bareback movies!
