Porn & HIV

Yesterday, I wrote on my Forbes blog about a recent call to stop production in the adult movie industry due to a performer's possible positive HIV test. I'm also updating that post with new information and additional commentary from those in the industry as the story develops. 

One quote that I didn't include came from performer Chanel Preston. During a phone interview, she talked about her work as chairperson of the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee and spoke to some of the challenges that face performers when they enter porn.

She said:

"There isn't any training in the adult industry. There's a lot of training that would be great for people getting into the industry. How to establish your boundaries. Navigating personal and emotional feelings you might have. How to navigate the industry overall. As people have more knowledge, they make better business decisions for themselves."
