Porn filming stops after 28-year-old actress tests positive for HIV
The talent agency for an adult film star who appears to have tested positive for the HIV infection this week -- prompting an industry moratorium on shooting -- identified her Thursday as a 28-year-old actress who goes by the name Cameron Bay.
Free Speech Coalition, a porn industry trade association, issued the moratorium Wednesday, pending the results of further tests.
Bay was quoted in an industry publication, AVN Media Network, as confirming that the test was hers, although final results are still pending. Her talent agency also confirmed the information to The Times but declined to put a reporter in contact with Bay directly.
Mark Schechter, owner of Adult Talent Managers LA, which represents the actress, said she went in for her regular screening for sexually transmitted diseases on Monday and the results came back inconclusive. She went in for a second test Tuesday with a new blood sample. Preliminary results came back Wednesday as potentially positive for HIV.
