HIV Positive Porn Star Reveals His Identity to Promote Condom Use

The mainstream porn industry was rocked pretty hard this October when it was revealed that one of its performers had contracted HIV while on the job. Originally, identified as "patient zeta," gay and straight pornstar Derrick Burts recently spoke out about the importance of standardizing condom use in the adult industry.

 

HIV testing is mandatory in the straight adult industry but not in gay porn because condom use in that industry is mandatory.

Seeing as how the testing system is far from flawless, as Burts points out, it seems more important than ever that the adult industry suck it up and protect the performers who make them billions of dollars every year. Also, promoting safe sex amongst porn viewers doesn't seem like such a bad idea, either--even if they are a little reluctant to see some sheathed cock at first.
