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.”

“There is only one way to get HIV and that is anal sex.”

Uh wrong. There are many roads to HIV.

He is most likely a homosexual and received it that way although needles are possible. Point is, there are no confirmed cases of heterosexual sex.

It’s fitting that he should be hiv positive. His show “2 and a half men” is about getting as much sex as possible. Think the viewers will make the connection? I don’t.

agree. the reason aids spread so fast in Africa is they had anal sex as a form of birth control.

Did I perform with the person who tested positive?

The relevant question should be "Did I perform with a person who performed with a person who performed with a person who performed with the person who tested positive?"

"Point is, there are no confirmed cases of heterosexual sex."

Seven billion people alive today. That represents circumstantial evidence for a lot of cases of heterosexual sex, at least seven billion cases.

Before blood screening became reliable, there were a lot of cases of hemophiliacs becoming infected through blood transfusions. I recall reading of a hemophiliac man who had gotten AIDS that way and passed it on to his wife--this was back in the early years of the epidemic.

Your the one claiming a position at odds with all of the medical and scientific evidence. That means you get the burden of proof. I am guessing you just read it on a kook website and took it as a proven fact.

The porn stars are all worried about it... I am betting they are more experts in STD transmission than you.

Studied it for 5 years and there are no credible cases of transmission through heterosexual sex. You mean the same settled science as Global Warming. Keep being fooled for the agenda.
