In the midst of an ongoing moratorium on shooting in the adult 
film industry, an advocacy group said a fourth performer has 
come forward as HIV-positive.

The Free Speech Coalition, an adult industry trade group, called 
a filming moratorium Friday — the second in a month — after a 
performer tested positive for HIV. The group called a weeklong 
moratorium last month after actress Cameron Bay tested HIV-
positive.

A second performer, Rod Daily, who is romantically linked to 
Bay, came forward on Twitter and told the Los Angeles Daily News 
that he too had tested positive — but that case was not 
officially reported to the industry group and did not result in 
a new moratorium. Friday's call to stop shooting came after a 
third performer tested positive and was reported to the Free 
Speech Coalition by an industry-affiliated doctor.

Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation — 
a group that backed a voter-approved mandate to use condoms in 
filming in Los Angeles County last year and is now pushing for a 
statewide requirement — said a fourth adult film performer 
contacted his group in the last week.

"We were approached by a male performer who told us he had 
tested positive," Weinstein said, but he would not give any 
further details. He said he did not know if that case had been 
contracted while filming, but added that he thought "parsing"  
that question missed the point.

"Whether or not [Bay] was infected on set, she performed with 
HIV between her tests," he said. "If you think that Russian 
roulette is a great way to protect workers, then the present 
system is perfect."

Joanne Cachapero, a spokeswoman with the Free Speech Coalition, 
said the group had not received confirmation of the fourth case. 
The shooting moratorium is ongoing. The trade group said the 
performer whose positive test prompted the current moratorium 
had not worked on a film since before the first moratorium was 
issued Aug. 21.

The industry required performers whose last STD test was prior 
to Aug. 19 to take a re-test, and said it was considering 
shortening the frequency of required STD tests for performers 
from 28 to 14 days, but so far has not announced a decision.

Give AIDS a chance!
