Performers in the porn industry are to be educated more about HIV by an American trade association. The decision has been taken after confirmation of three cases amongst these actors.

The third case has come out within three weeks of the earlier case in the industry. The scenario is concerning, especially when people in the Los Angeles County had last year only asked that porn actors should wear condoms while on set.

However, there were no HIV transmissions on set, according to the Free Speech Coalition’s CEO, Diane Duke. But, the recent decision offered a great educational opportunity, which could make the actors learn the way to protect themselves in their personal lives.

The CEO agreed to the fact that a large number of actors did not make use of latex on shoots.

The report unveiled that pornographic films were now not being produced after a fourth actor is suspected to have HIV. While other performers have been undergoing tests for the deadly virus, a cessation on Friday has been announced.

Duke told that many performers did not use condoms and felt secured with testing protocols.

“While we don't have evidence to suggest an on-set transmission as opposed to a transmission from non-industry related activity, we are taking every measure to determine the source and protect the performer pool”, stated the Free Speech Coalition.
