Pornography a target for safe sex push

One of the Health Safety Boards in California, decided to study a new requirement for the pornography industry, which was recommended by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. The current California law states that porn stars must not test positive for HIV and other sexually related diseases, in a time span of 30 days before filming begins. The managers of this industry believe the present requirement is enough. Some years ago the porno industry was shut down for a while because one of its stars tested positive for AIDS.

The porno industry is not happy with this study being pushed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. The porno industry like many others has been hit hard by the downturn in the economy. They are claiming that the wearing of condoms will lose customers who want to see it all, not a condom taking away from their view and action. The wearing of a condom will practically nullify some raunchier areas of the industry, where proof of something actually happening, is necessary to satisfy certain porno watchers.

A big decision might be on the horizon for the porn industry. To fight this measure if it passes, or to accept it. It comes down to the decision of which is more important, life or the bottom line.
