Porn World in Panic Over Charlie Sheen’s HIV Diagnosis
Daily Beast ^ | November 20, 2015 | Aurora Snow and Marlow Stern

Well-known for his porn star companions, Charlie Sheen’s recent admission to being HIV-positive has sent a ripple of fear through the adult industry. There’s no protocol in place for this. There are no records of who Sheen’s hired, thus no quarantine list for the porn stars he’s been sexually active with.

In the semi-regulated world of adult film, when an HIV scare is made known everyone asks, “Did I perform with the person who tested positive?” Fear turns to panic if it was a close call, relief if it wasn’t. That’s only after a name is released—or patient zero comes forward. Production shuts down, quarantine lists are drawn up for first generation, second, third, and so on. An ideal “who’s performed with whom” list chronicling before and after known exposure is made available. Some call this “the honor system.”

How about not banging anything that just happens to walk by?

Sex must be great when you can’t remember having it with someone

Gas Station Condom Dispenser Preaches Abstinence and Monogamy

"It was the label that was odd:

Although no contraceptive can provide complete protection, Hygeia Condoms, when properly used, may prevent the transmission of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The best method of AIDS prevention is abstinence before marriage and a monogamous relationship during marriage. Hygeia Condoms are available here for your privacy and convenience. This dispenser serviced at frequent intervals."

There are at least two ways to get HIV. Receive anal sex with someone who is already infected, and shared needles which is common with the use of recreational drugs. Charlie Sheen apparently had both a drug problem and a sex problem, he was involved with high risk behaviors.

To blame anal sex is like blaming needles, just because one use is unsafe doesn't preclude all uses. To receive a shot for needed medication is far different from passing around a syringe of heroine. It is far better to say sex is to be exclusive to a husband and wife and needles are exclusive to a single use.
