The Free Speech Coalition, a California-based trade group for the adult film industry, said the pair of film shoots linked to the latest infections occurred in September on a Nevada set using tests that do not detect HIV as early as tests done on sets that fully comply with industry standards.

The number of porn filmmakers applying for shooting permits in the county declined from 485 in 2012 to 40 in 2013. The infections came amid a major decline in porn filming in Los Angeles County - once the center of porn production in the country - after the 2012 passage of a law requiring porn actors to use condoms during filming. "Shortly after his negative test, HIV levels in his body rose rapidly to where he could infect other actors through unprotected sex." "In this case, the actor and production company thought he was HIV-negative during filming," the statement said. One of the actors had previously tested negative for the virus that causes AIDS before a pair of film shoots, but then began showing symptoms during the second shoot and was later found to be HIV-positive, the California Department of Public Health said Monday in a statement.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Two adult film actors have contracted HIV, with one most likely infecting the other during unprotected sex at a film shoot in Nevada where testing was less stringent than industry standards, officials said.
