HIV Positive Porn Stars

I received this email from a reader named VthickPP:

"I recently read an article that said that most gay porn stars are HIV positive --- Do you have any comments on that or can you ask some 'in the know' people and write an article about th is.  I would be intersted (sic)"

Dear Gentle Reader:

First of all, who is and who is not a porn "star"? This is NOT the old Hollywood contract system with models working on salary. There is not even a current roster of models that appear in porn, whether they are HIV positive or not. They are hired by the day just like migrant farm workers. And besides, what consitutes a "star" as opposed to mere "performer".

Second, there is confidentiality issues in every workplace created for your and my protection that prevents employers from making the HIV status of workers public. A model would have to announce it on their own, but that would severely reduce their marketability, wouldn't it?

Which gets to the question of why Mr. VthickPP is interested in HIV status of porn stars. Does it turn you on to see positive guys having sex? Do you have a list of porn stars that you plan to sleep with? If you're looking to hire some as escorts, it would be better if you asked each of the individuals you plan to hire and go from there. If you want me to make a list for you of who is "safe" for you to hire as an escort and who is not, that's a lot of work, buddy!

My guess is Mr. VthickPP just wants to add more fuel to the gossip mill. Well, here you go, here is my list of gay porn stars with AIDS and a sample of one of the movies they appeared:

Matt Gunther
Eric Stryker
Ed Dinakos
Casey Donovan
Lee Ryder
Al Parker
Chris Burns
Jon King
Lon Flexx
Scott O'Hara

OOPS! Too late, they're already DEAD!

Sorry, Mr. VthickPP, I cannot help you with your request, there is too much evil gossip floating around already. I don't know Mark Dalton's HIV status and I don't know if Mark Dalton has a wife or child either. I don't want to contribute to this rumor or any other unless I have better sources. I'm just here to get all of you riled up and bickering among yourselves! That's where it gets to be fun!

But thanks for asking! (And notice how I worked in Mark Dalton's name again! It seems that is the only topic that readers want to discuss here.)
