Adult Films vs. The Government
|
Adult Films vs. The Government I think we can all agree that condoms help prevent the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases... That is until the Government gets involved. In particular - several months back, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and several other health groups put the wheels in motion to regulate the adult film industry by mandating that performers must wear condoms. All with good intentions of protecting the workers and community in general. How it backfires: • Fact – The bulk of adult films cum out of California. • To enforce this law, the adult film industry would have to make every performer an employee to satisfy Cal/OSHA ( California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health) • California law also prohibits the HIV testing as a condition of employment. • Nor would the porn industry be allowed to deny employment to a HIV infected person. • i.e. Untested and HIV-positive performers would be able to work in the industry. • Even with the use of condoms, the risk of becoming infected raises because of breakage or spillover. If It’s Not Broke, Don’t Fix It! The porn industry is a multibillion dollar industry that has done well to protect its self. Since the industry's HIV testing policy began in 1998, there has been only one major outbreak. They implement the PCR-DNA test which detects HIV much earlier than the standard ELISA test used by the general population, and most performers are tested monthly • Approximately only 10% of the public reported being tested for HIV in the past year. • And there is an estimated 250,000 people living with HIV who are unaware of their infection. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation and proponents of mandating condoms imply that the threat is coming from inside the adult film industry. While in fact, since the adult film industry implemented its HIV testing policy, all but four performers who tested positive for HIV contracted HIV outside the industry. The threat does not come from inside the industry but from outside. Such a law would also encourage black market films, movies featuring no-condom sex would defiantly still exist, but those performers would no longer be required to participate in the industry's HIV testing program. Again, increasing the risk of an HIV outbreak in the industry. Equate it to what has happened sense became illegal and underground. In the end, the porn industry could just pack up and leave California rendering the law unenforceable and trivial. Tax dollars wasted. The only people that win would be the politicians that took kickbacks from Trojan (or whoever)…. Thousands of people that work in the industry directly or indirectly would lose their jobs. California is all ready in enough financial strain. The adult industry has done an excellent job policing and testing itself. This is just one of hundreds of examples of what happens when the government comes along to protect us from ourselves. Moral of the story . . . .  |
