Verthe-interesthing (as the old war-time movie's comedic German integrator use to say) Don't want to rain on anybody's parade, pat ..... but this health warning too will pass. Although I share some of your concern, I don't see the Pharmaceutical industry workin' overtime at the labs to find a cure. I'm certainly not convinced this bug is anywhere near the threat posed by Aids ... as this writer grimly seems to project in his short article. Until adequate tests are given ample time to prove conclusively that this new strain actually is proven antibiotically resistant, then I don't think its time to rush out and put a wad of saving into the condom stock market. But I will concur most hardily about "the mess that is the porn industry." | |

Oh no, it's raining gonorrhea! 
Part of the cure of such things is taking better precautions in curing them in the first place, as antibiotic-resistant strains evolve because of overuse of antibiotics. And yes, I'd still be more worried about AIDS and HIV as they are incurable, since they are viruses and not diseases like gonorrhea. Mike South unfortunately addresses this with a truly clumsy and sensationalized sentence: "This is a very big deal because unlike HIV and even HEP Gonorrhea is very contagious and these strains may well be 'uncureable' according to the CDC." I hope those in the industry wetting their hot pants over this at least understand how "uncureable" (not to mention lethal) HIV and AIDS already are. This industry should be concerned about performers' health, given the inevitable risks and the fact that they are operating in a country that has the moral insanity to make health care a for-profit industry, but scaremongering and ignorance help no one.

^Although you are correct that for the most part gonorrhea is rarely fatal. That information is based on the old strains that were curable with current antibiotic but who is to say that these new strains aren't going to cause deaths. After all the existing data was gathered over many years using patients infected with a curable strain of the bacteria. At least there are drugs on the market to help people with HIV but there are none for those infected with these new untreatable strains of gonorrhea. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

While this might seem a bit off topic, I've switched in the last year to just buying chickens that have not been exposed to antibiotics. If we are what we eat, and you're eating meat that has been given antibiotics, you don't suppose that when the need arises to be given antibiotics (for not only std's, but also any other disease that needs antibiotics for treatment)that your body might have made the treatment less or not all effective. Think about why a strain of disease is able to adapt itself to the antibiotic treatment. It can't help the situation much if we keep indirectly feeding ourselves antibiotics in the food we eat. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

Part of the problem, at least for porn performers, is the industry's relatively casual treatment of STDs that aren't HIV or AIDS. Though treatable, HIV and AIDS are in no way curable--they are viruses after all--and still scare performers considerably more. They are in effect the scarlet letter(s?) of the industry because they can instantly kill an onscreen career, while still taking years to kill the body (part of what has helped turned AIDS into a global pandemic). But once again, that old proverb, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, may really be the only solution to this recurring problem.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

jberryl69, with regards to antibiotic use in farm animals, it is worth noting that not all use is purely evil. If an animal gets sick--which can still happen regardless of how "small" or "sustainable" a farm is--I would hope a farmer would have enough sense to give it something instead of letting "nature" take its course (getting sicker, and/or dying slowly). There are a lot of good ideas and practices regarding food--yes, livestock and consumers could probably be better off without routine antibiotic use--but there's also a lot weird, absolutist, quasi-religious claptrap as well. Snake oils, cure-alls, "superfoods," "natural," and "organic" bullshit seems to abound everywhere. If something makes you feel good that's one thing, but it's no substitute for facts and evidence-based study. And anecdotes such not be taken as legitimate medical advice, especially when genetics and risky lifestyle choices can negatively health no matter what kind of food you dump down your gullet.

lol - Turboshaft - I'm not trying to be radical with what I'm saying, just pointing out that one can make small changes in what one purchases that reduce the needless use of antibiotics in the protein portion. If you aren't concerned enough to be selective then it's okay by me. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee.

No worries, you certainly don't sound radical to me.  Just making a point about how good intentions in food seem to get hijacked by philosophical beliefs that are also a mix of politics and health woo. Back to the original topic  , I seem to remember reading a number of performers mentioning practicing vegetarianism or even veganism. Great, except for the cigarette and/or marijuana smoking (smoke from an organic compound, no matter how "medicinal," still contains carcinogens), and the tons of aggressive condom-free sex, which are all greater and more immediate threats to one's health.

I think you have hit the nail on the head because most if not all of the porn industries problems can be traced back to an utter disregard for any std that aren't HIV. If it isn't HIV than they don't care what the performer has. We have had an HEPC infected male performer working in the industry for about 3 years and if rumors can be trusted then many people in authority knew about it. I know some will say that HEP C is not an STD per say but you can still get infected from intercourse. Especially if you happen to be a porn performer shooting those more extreme types of scenes. It's clear that having had one or more STD tends to make a person more likely to get more STD. Long live the Brown Coats. | |
