A vote was taken during the American Medical Association's annual meeting in Chicago. This is sure to set off a fire storm from studios who produce bareback genres on both heterosexual and gay xxx films.
“This vote by Delegates of the American Medical Association adds the weight of the largest and one of the most respected organizations of physicians in the US to ongoing efforts by AHF and other AIDS advocates to protect the health and safety of adult film workers,” said Michael Weinstein, President of AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
“We thank the AMA for this endorsement of ongoing efforts to improve adult film actors and actresses safety on adult film sets. We will make certain that the advisory committee called by Cal/OSHA that convenes next week to determine whether - and how-to amend California state health statutes to better protect such actors and actresses, is aware of the AMA’s bold action.”
Since an outbreak of as many as 20 HIV infections in the adult film industry in California several years ago-and the revelation that another adult film performer tested HIV positive last June, AHF and other AIDS advocates including advocates from the Pink Cross Foundation have spearheaded a multi pronged campaign to improve worker safety by requiring condom use by adult film actors.
As part of the effort, AHF has sued local Los Angeles County public health officials to enforce existing workplace safety regulations.
They have lobbied for an overhaul of state workplace safety measures covering adult film sets in both California and Florida (the two largest production centers).
It has filed worker safety complaints with state regulators against both adult film producers as well as adult talent agencies.
It has sought legislation in Sacramento to more clearly codify adult film safety regulations. JRL will stay on top of this story and will bring you more information as it is released.
