Even though it was disclosed last week by The Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM), that an adult performer had tested positive for HIV, the Los Angeles City Council appears unlikely to suspend any new porn production permits.
Los Angeles activists, AIDS Healthcare, have demanded the Council to instruct FilmLA to halt issuing new permits to the tax dollar generating San Fernando Valley based sex production industry until the latest case is investigated by AIM, reports the LA Times.
Aids Healthcare has championed for years to get the City to enforce condom use and other safe- sex practices, in an industry that has largely balked against the measures.
It appears our ineffective County government officials will continue to turn a blind eye to an issue that affects the public at large. Sex industy performers are members of the greater community, and as long as safety measures remain lax, we are all to a degree at risk.
