HIV-Positive Porn Stars Rally Behind California's Condom Law

After two industry-wide moratoriums on shooting in less than a month, several adult film stars came forward today in support of California’s recent condoms-in-porn law.

Cameron Bay and Rod Daily, two of the porn stars who recently tested HIV positive, held a press conference earlier today in Hollywood alongside AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein, who is a powerful proponent of mandatory condoms in porn. One the other side, The Free Speech Coalition, the porn industry’s trade group that is currently appealing the condom law, saying the law violates “porn producers’ right to artistic freedom of speech”.

“Ultimately, it’s just a big industry, and their main concern is money,” said Daily, who tested positive for HIV shortly after girlfriend Bay tested positive. “If they do care that much about the performers, they would use condoms.”
