AN adult film actor who tested positive for HIV in California last month hasn't infected anyone through sexual contact, according to testing at the San Fernando Valley clinic that discovered the case.
One of the largest makers of adult films, Vivid Entertainment, announced it will resume production tomorrow, now that the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation says it has completed two rounds of testing on all the on- and off-screen sexual partners of the infected actor, and no one tested positive.
The actor "acquired the virus through private, personal activity," according to AIM spokeswoman Jennifer Miller. The identity and gender of the HIV-positive actor have not been released; the actor is known only as Patient Zeta.
News of the HIV-infected actor last month spread fresh fears of sexually transmitted disease through the California adult film industry.
County health officials say at least eight porn actors have tested positive since a 2004 HIV outbreak in the adult entertainment industry.
