Male performer confirmed to be HIV positive.

This is what I get for not checking my messages last night.

Someone sent this in to me:

New HIV cases today. Only one man has been confirmed positive at this time. Just getting the facts and will have more later. Huge quarantine lists and active performers.

AVN reports:

AVN.com has received confirmation from AIM Healthcare that an adult industry performer has tested positive for HIV.

“AIM has confirmed that an adult industry performer has tested positive for HIV,” AIM’s clinical administrator Brooke Miller told AVN. “We are currently quarantining and testing all exposed partners and we will have no further information until the end of the week. We are contacting everyone that might have been exposed. Please check the AIM database to confirm all tests.”

AVN.com has learned from sources that Patient Zero is a male performer who performed in both straight and gay adult videos. Additionally, we received word that an undetermined number of first and second generation adult performers who may have been exposed have been quarantined at this time.

Seeking to confirm the number of people in quarantine, Miller cautioned that it’s in flux as the clinic learns of new potential new exposures or eliminates those that test negative.

Free Speech Coalition Executive Director Diane Duke provided the following quote to AVN: “Clearly it is too early to know the facts of the case. The responsible thing to do is to wait for AIM to come back with their results. I applaud AIM for quickly identifying the risks and addressing the physical and emotional needs of those involved.”
