HIV Porn Stars Want Condoms On Set: Three Actors Want Change Claiming Kink.com Wanted Him Knowing He Contracted HIV

HIV-porn stars want condoms while filming shortly after three tested positive for HIV while on set.

Cameron Bay, Rod Daily and an unidentified third performer who spoke via the telephone held a press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday to discuss their cases of being HIV positive adult film stars, spoke out about wanting condoms while at work.

In an industry that is cleaner than skeptics might believe with STDs and especially HIV, these porn stars want condoms and change, in part because of what happened to them and how they feel some don't care.

"Asking for a condom on set wasn't really what you did because you could just be replaced," Bay said at the conference.

Bay said at the press conference she suspected she got the virus while working on a July 31 film shoot with San Francisco-based Kink.com.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the group that put together the event where these porn stars spoke out at. The foundation works towards promoting HIV/AIDS awareness. The foundation has been a major supporter of the use of condoms in pornographic films, and helped push through legislation last November to require condoms on Los Angeles County sets.

Another actor who is not one of the confirmed cases, Patrick Stone, said at the press conference that he received a false-positive HIV test but was still asked to come in and shoot with Kink.com.

"They had me scheduled for a shoot tomorrow, and as far as they knew, I was HIV positive," he said.

Kink.com denied knowing Stone potentially was HIV-positive.

"All of our models are informed that they request a condom at any time, that they can stop a shoot at any time, and that they control the scene... We take consent and safety seriously," Kink.com founder Peter Acworth told the Los Angeles Times.

Acworth admitted that one star on set did contract HIV.

"While HIV was not transmitted on set, there were incidents on that shoot including some of the same ones that Ms. Bay identified that have caused us to reevaluate what we permit on shoots," he told CBS Los Angeles.
