Gay performer tests positive for HIV

On Friday, Adult Production Health & Safety Services (APHSS) released the following statement: “An adult performer has tested positive for HIV. This performer worked exclusively on condom-only sets. As a precautionary measure, APHSS is providing retests for the small number of performers with which the infected individual had performed. All retests have come back negative and there is no indication that any transmission — including that of the positive performer — happened on set.”

Zach from The Sword then revealed that the individual actually worked in gay porn. "According to multiple sources, The Sword can confirm that a male gay porn performer has tested positive for HIV," he wrote. "The positive results came back after routine testing for a scheduled shoot with Men.com.

"Given that Men.com’s shoots are condom-only, it’s highly unlikely that the performer contracted HIV while on set. Also, the performer is said to have worked 'exclusively' in condom-only productions."

Manwin has suspended production until further notice.

“Third-party producers creating content for Men.com have been requested to cease all production until further notice," Manwin said in a statement. "Men.com will wait on the APHSS to confirm when production may resume.”
