this whole aids thing doesn't add up....
once infected, the virus is latent for like a few months.. in which one does not test positive but is infected and can infect others...that is why they recommend to do a second test 3-6 month after the first one.so , if one actor is infected, he could be infected for a few months allready....without testing positive
IF the virus is soooo transmittable, why is the whole porn industry not infected yet??
i mean they bang like rabbits!
doesn't add up.....
From what I understand, they don't use the basic Elisa test for porn actors.
Instead, they get a little more detailed and go for the P24 antigen capture assay that actually detects the viral protein p24 in the peripheral blood of HIV infected individuals, in which it exists as a free antigen or complexed to anti-p24 antibodies. The p24 antigen is actually detectable as early as 2 to 6 weeks after infection.
Typically, they test actors a month before and then a second time, a few days before the actual filming.
Regarding the transmission of the virus, it depends highly on the actual viral load of the patient. Patients with very low viral loads have a much lower probability of infecting a sexual partner (transmission is always possible, but much less probable). Also, it is much harder for a man to become infected from intercourse with an infected woman, than it is for a woman to get infected by a positive man (statistics are much higher).
Porn is big business..
