Unlikely Model in H.I.V. Efforts: Sex Film Industry by Donald G. McNeil. The New York Times. November 6, 2012.
Adult film industry medical consultants say that in the 350,000 sex scenes filmed since 2004 not one case of H.I.V has been transmitted. The article points to rigorous testing requirements and monitoring for this record. The industry resists law requiring condoms in sex scenes for financial and market reasons. Also important to the industry is the comfort of performers. Condoms chafe limiting the number of sex scenes and therefore income for performers. California heath officials and others question the industry's record with other sexually-transmitted diseases. Gay porn by contrast has required condoms since the 1980s
