It is so nice to finally see the media talking about porn in a positive light! Yesterday CNN.com posted a fantastic article about STI (or as they are sometimes called STDs) prevention within the porn industry and how non-porno folks could stand to learn a thing or two about keeping up with testing, like a porn star. Very cool.

While this article is awesome, it does come on the heels of the Adult Industry Medical (AIM) clinic closing. The organization, started by ex-performer Sharon Mitchell, catered to the whole industry, providing STI testing and a performer database for checking test results. Though Talent Testing Services is still doing the good work, it’s a shame that AIM is no longer a resource.
Thanks for the article, CNN – and the STI prevention tips for all!
For those of you who may not be quite as embroiled in porn industry news as we are, on Tuesday, Oct. 12, the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation(AIM) announced that an anonymous adult performer had tested positive for HIV. AIM has since taken action contacting and quarantining all performers who could have possibly been exposed to the virus. As well a number of porn studios (including Vivid, condom-mandatory studio Wicked Pictures, Hustler and more) have halted production for the time being while everything is sorted out. For more info, check out our brother site HotMovies.com’s blog.
In the wake of this sad news, let’s all be reminded that HIV and STI testing is still an important part of being a sexual person. Take a look at our guide to safer sex practices and go get your test on!
Today is old school porn legend Sharon Mitchell‘s birthday and we here at HM4Her are sending her all of our pervy luv! Known as one of the first porn stars with an androgenous look, Mitchell has not only starred in more than 200 movies throughout the ’70s and ’80s, she has done amazing work within the health community, creating the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM) to help adult performers stay healthy. Pretty neat, huh?
Happy Birthday Sharon, thanks for everything!
xoxo
