The woman had last tested negative for HIV on April 29, Mitchell said. The actress tested for HIV on June 4 and the first positive result was returned Saturday, according to a statement from AIM founder Sharon Mitchell on her clinics website. Officials from the San Fernando Valley-based Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation released more details this afternoon about the most recent case. It was not immediately clear whether any of the previously unpublicized HIV infections involved workplace transmission of the virus. The previously unpublicized cases will probably shock adult industry workers, who repeatedly have described the new case as the first since 2004. In all, 16 men and 5 women who worked as adult film industry performers contracted HIV between 20, according to Los Angeles County Department of Public Health data requested by The Times.īetween 19, 14 confirmed HIV cases were reported among adult film performers, according to the health department. At least 10 of those cases involved men who had sex with other men, according to health officials. The newly released data brings the number of known HIV cases in adult film performers to 22 since 2004, including a porn actress who tested positive late last week. The 2004 cases - involving a male porn star, three actresses he had worked with and an unrelated case in a transsexual performer - drew intense scrutiny to safety practices in the industry. Los Angeles County officials released public health data this afternoon indicating that 16 previously unpublicized cases of HIV had been confirmed in adult film industry performers since 2004 when an outbreak shut down porn production for a month.
