[size=9:f02a11a48d]Man Claims that Bianca Biaggi is HIV-positive
By: Scott Ross
05-02-2004
BRAZIL - A man claiming to be a Brazilian adult director says that Bianca Biaggi is HIV-positive. Biaggi is the woman believed to have infected Darren James with HIV.
Paulo Sergio, who says he shot Biaggi's scene in the Red Light Districts' Yesterday I Was Seventeen video, emailed AVN.com photos of Biaggi and claims that yesterday he saw Biaggi's positive test results.
"I bet all that I got in my life that if somebody searchs [sic] some of these trannies she worked with...one of them will be infected," Sergio wrote. Sergio is referring to scenes in which Biaggi worked with transsexual performers.
Sergio blamed transsexual performers as well as unscrupulous foreign-directors and producers for Biaggi's HIV.
"This is a sad thing, because she is a realy, realy [sic] nice girl...," Sergio wrote, "but unfortunately couple foreign directors-producers becames way too ambitious and started to make all kind of shit down here in Brazil with any kind of people because is cheap [sic]."
Even if Sergio is correct regarding Biaggi's HIV-positive test, it does not prove conclusively that she gave Darren James the virus, though it does lend credence to AIM Healthcare Foundation's theory that James was "patient zero."
AIM's executive director Sharon Mitchell told AVN.com that James was believed to have caught HIV while working on March 10 in Brazil[/size:f02a11a48d]

[size=9:598070e69e]Jessica Dee Hired as a Director by Platinum X
By: Scott Ross
05-02-2004
CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Platinum X has hired Jessica Dee as a director. The 26-year-old performer was diagnosed as HIV-positive last week, the third victim in the current HIV outbreak.
On the heterosexual side of the adult industry, performers can no longer work as performers once they are found to be HIV-positive.
Jewel De' Nyle, co-owner of Platinum X, was with Dee when she went to the AIM Healthcare Foundation (AIM) for her HIV tests and offered emotional support once Dee found out that she was HIV-positive.
"When she came out positive I was heart broken, she was one of my favorite performers. I immediately began wondering what I could do to help," De'Nyle told AVN.com. "I got in touch with her a couple of days after her tests came in and she was in very good spirits. She's handling this very well."
Dee's level-headedness upon learning that she was HIV-positive was a large factor in De'Nyle's decision to offer her a job as a director.
"It shows she's a class act. If she can handle this, she can handle everything," De' Nyle said.
Dee, who has never directed a video before, will be taught the ropes by De'Nyle. Besides learning the technical aspects of directing, she'll also learn how to handle the administrative duties of directing: everything from the paperwork each project requires to the payroll.
She's one of the girls in the industry that has a very good head on her shoulders and I think she'll become a great director," De'Nyle said.[/size:598070e69e]

Il "New York Times" ha pubblicato questa notizia nell'edizione di domenica 2 maggio 2004. La grande "dottoressa" Sharon Mitchell (da dove ha ottenuta la laurea???) sta suggerendo che i film porno dovranno avera un certo sigillo di approvazione (come si faceva a Haollywood fino alla fine degli anni 60) per le compagnie che "seguono" le "norme":

How to Put Condoms in the Picture
By SHARON MITCHELL
Published: May 2, 2004
LOS ANGELES
Another young performer in pornographic movies tested positive for H.I.V. last week. She is the third to do so in the last month, prompting a 60-day industry-wide halt to filming so that actors can be tested and re-tested for the virus. The testing has taken place at the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation, the organization I founded in 1998 to provide sex-film performers counseling and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Each month we give about 1,200 actors a test that can identify H.I.V. as early as 14 days after infection. We also test for chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.
It's very difficult to get sex-film actors to adhere to any regulation, but most of the performers follow our rules when the rest of the industry " the producers, directors and distributors " cooperates. They are the "parents" in this business, since a number of the people who act in these films are not emotionally healthy. Some are young and troubled, and their careers are short: the typical sex-film actor works in the industry for three months to three years.
The self-policing has worked. Two of the largest film companies, Vivid and Wicked Pictures, regularly use condoms and the other companies will if the actors insist on it. In 80,000 tests my organization has conducted since 1998, there have been only 14 diagnoses of H.I.V. infection. We're doing an excellent job. But if a crusading government takes advantage of the three positive diagnoses to try to shut down the industry or mandate condoms, it won't work. The segment of the industry that refuses to use condoms will simply go underground.
That has happened before. In the San Fernando Valley " or "Porn Valley" " where much of the sex-film industry is based, it has been legal to shoot films that show actual sexual intercourse only since the late 1980's; before then, the makers of more graphic films simply operated underground, and made plenty of money. If Los Angeles County mandates condom use, the filmmakers who refuse to follow these regulations will just move elsewhere " avoiding even the opt-in testing we have at my organization. Then we would truly have a public health issue: remember, these men and women have nonprofessional sex lives with husbands, wives and partners who are not in the industry.
What we can do is reward the producers, distributors and actors who use condoms with a "seal of approval." The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, state and federal health departments, and my organization should act together to give approval to the films made by companies that use safe workplace and health care practices. Most mainstream companies don't like to discuss their lucrative dirty secret " that they make huge profits off sex films. But if hotel chains like Hilton and Marriott, and cable companies like Time Warner and Comcast, showed only those films with the seal of approval, filmmakers would have a financial incentive to follow the rules.
Pornography is a multibillion-dollar industry " some put the figures as high as $9 billion per year. Almost all of the national cable providers offer a pornography channel, millions of sex videos are sold each year and 50 percent of hotel guests watch pornography on pay-per-view channels.
With the explosion of the industry, the business has changed drastically. In 1975, when I started as a sex-film actor, it was more like the mainstream film business: the same agent who helped get me roles on Broadway sent me out for my first pornographic film. Back then, films had to have "artistic merit" to be shown in theaters legally, so the films had plots. But the San Fernando legalization and the proliferation of video changed things. Films have become increasingly hard core because that is what sells. Rejection of condom use is purely and simply a financial issue. Filmmakers believe that viewers prefer the "reality" of unprotected sex. But the reality of unprotected sex is risk of H.I.V. infection.
Pornography has been around for a long time, and it's not going to go away. If we can make it financially attractive for the people who work in the industry to use condoms, they will. And that's the only way that we will be able to further limit the risk of infection to sex-film actors and to the people they come in contact with in their private lives.

[size=9:ac10c27039]Another First-Gen Woman Diagnosed as HIV-Positive
By: Scott Ross
05-05-2004
SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. - Miss Arroyo has been diagnosed as HIV-positive, becoming the fourth victim of the HIV virus in the current outbreak.
Yesterday a transsexual named Jennifer was found to be HIV-positive, but was believed to be unrelated to the other cases.
While AIM Healthcare Foundation would not disclose the identity of the performer when they announced that there was another positive result, Miss Arroyo's test results were known to be pending, and her manager Dick Nasty confirmed that the results of her test were positive.
Nasty reports that Arroyo, who is approximately 25-years-old, is handling the news very well. "She's doing pretty good. I was the one that was upset," Nasty said. "She's taking it very well."
Arroyo performed in a double anal scene with Darren James and another unknown man on March 30, and is believed to have caught HIV virus at that time.
Nasty says that while Arroyo is originally from San Francisco, she is planning on staying in the Los Angeles area.
"Going for counseling, that sort of stuff has already been arranged. I don't want what she's going to do in the way of a job, but she's definitely going to stay here," he said.
Arroyo has worked in the adult industry for approximately four years.
Nasty also represented Jessica Dee, the third victim of the current outbreak. There are currently two men who worked with Jessica Dee that have pending test results. meaning that they have not received a positive, nor a negative test result.
Jennifer, the transsexual performer who was diagnosed as HIV-positive yesterday, hadn't worked within the adult industry since Feb. 27, well before the current outbreak began. She was in New York, where reportedly she did some work as an escort.
Tony Sexton and Maxx Blacc are the only two performers who are on Arroyo's first-generation list, having worked with her on April 1 and April 5, respectively.
Blacc was also on Lara Roxx's first-generation list, and had a negative HIV test on April 27, more than 30 days after he worked with Roxx.
Both men were already quarantined, and so a second-generation list is not expected.[/size:ac10c27039]

'I Just Hope I'm the Last,' Says Jessica Dee as She Joins Platinum X
By: Jared Rutter
05-04-2004
CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Jessica Dee walked into Platinum X Pictures' headquarters for the first time as a director rather than talent on a sweltering Monday afternoon earlier this week.
The third performer diagnosed HIV-positive in the adult industry's current health crisis, she was accompanied by her agent, Dick Nasty, and her fiance, Shane D.
They headed straight for the office of co-owner Jewel De'Nyle, who last week hired her to work behind the camera.
The atmosphere was warm and upbeat, with jokes and laughter and a palpable sense of camaraderie and excitement.
Dee is small and slender, with pale skin and a perfect heart-shaped face dominated by large blue eyes. When she cheerfully changed into the Platinum X tank top De'Nyle presented her with, she revealed firm natural breasts.
She joked about now being able to get tattoos or piercings, or even a tit job, things she deliberately avoided while in front of the camera.
The 25-year-old Czech actress will begin shooting Throat Yogurt, her first Platinum X movie"ten scenes, all oral"in June.
"This is Day 1," said De'Nyle, as she prepared to initiate Dee into the intricacies of pre-production paperwork. "She's going to learn first-hand today how it goes."
But before that she took time to talk with AVN.com in her fluent, Czech-accented English.
In March, Dee worked with Darren James, who is believed to have initiated the HIV outbreak, in a scene for Evasive Angles. It was a double anal insertion with James and Mark Anthony, followed by ejaculation inside her vagina.
She said that when she heard James had tested positive right after she worked with him, "Okay, I was panicked."
"When you get the news," she continued, "I think everybody has to panic, the first few minutes, or hours, or maybe all day. That's a normal thing. I got through two weeks just waiting for tests. Every day you wake up and you don't know what's coming. Obviously now it's better because I know I'm positive.
"I talked to many people and I know my life is not over. How I got through with everything, it's just because of my boyfriend. I have to say thank you for him, that he's still with me. Because you definitely need somebody. You can't go through it by yourself."
She met Shane D., an African-American adult actor, when they worked together on a set just two months ago. They will be married on Saturday.
She said he helped her deal with her initial despair by telling her, "‘Don't worry, your mom needs you. You have a lot of friends here.' That's true. I've got so many people around me. I'm really happy that people are here for me. Nobody has turned his back."
De'Nyle too spent a lot of time with her during the difficult weeks before she was diagnosed. "I think she needed another woman to be there," she said, "another talent."
Dee said she has been constantly in touch with her family in the Czech Republic. "My mom knows," she said, "and obviously she knows that I am in this industry. When you go into this industry you know that HIV is here. You just don't think that it can happen to you. You don't think, ‘Oh, it will be me.'
"I just hope that I'm the last girl, I just hope so. Because I know how the girls feel. It's really hard. Yesterday I was really homesick. So I guess it's time to work, for me, so that I can forget everything."
Dee first came to the U. S. four years ago. She had never worked as talent in Europe, so her first time in front of the camera was in Los Angeles. For the next couple of years she would come to Porn Valley to work in three-month segments, then return to Europe.
"I was working every day, two scenes a day," she recalled. "People knew I had to go back to Czech, so I was kind of busy."
Nasty said that since he's been her agent she appeared in about 90 titles, and she estimates she did at least that many before she hooked up with him.
When Nasty met her, he recalled, she barely spoke a word of English. "In three months she went from one or two words to speaking like she does now."
De'Nyle said she had originally planned to shoot Throat Yogurt herself, "but I think it would be the perfect thing to start her out with."
"I know exactly what I want," Dee said. "I want exactly what I gave before to my scenes."
"She'll be grabbin' girls by the back of the head"‘Do it like this!'" De'Nyle joked. "That's why she's here. She's paid her dues. She's one of the nasty girls in the business. She's a girl after my own heart."
De'Nyle plans to have her direct every month.
"I'm going to be with her on set on her first few movies," she said, "to train her and teach her and let her just do her thing from then on. Because being in front of the camera is one thing, but when you step behind it it's a whole other world. I'm confident that she'll be able to handle it. She's a quick learner. I don't think it's going to be that hard for her to figure out."
"I don't think so either," Dee said. ‘If you want to, you learn quick, and I want to."
She pointed out that she is used to dealing with female talent because she had operated an agency in the Czech Republic. "I did that with my best girlfriend," she said, "but now I will leave the agency just for her, because I'm staying here."
"She's got a job to do and a husband to keep," De'Nyle said. "There's no slack for this girl now."
Throat Yogurt will be released September 16.

She met Shane D., an African-American adult actor, when they worked together on a set just two months ago. They will be married on Saturday.
She said he helped her deal with her initial despair by telling her, "‘Don't worry, your mom needs you. You have a lot of friends here.' That's true. I've got so many people around me. I'm really happy that people are here for me. Nobody has turned his back."
De'Nyle too spent a lot of time with her during the difficult weeks before she was diagnosed. "I think she needed another woman to be there," she said, "another talent."
Dee said she has been constantly in touch with her family in the Czech Republic. "My mom knows," she said, "and obviously she knows that I am in this industry. When you go into this industry you know that HIV is here. You just don't think that it can happen to you. You don't think, ‘Oh, it will be me.'
"I just hope that I'm the last girl, I just hope so. Because I know how the girls feel. It's really hard. Yesterday I was really homesick. So I guess it's time to work, for me, so that I can forget everything."
Dee first came to the U. S. four years ago. She had never worked as talent in Europe, so her first time in front of the camera was in Los Angeles. For the next couple of years she would come to Porn Valley to work in three-month segments, then return to Europe.
"I was working every day, two scenes a day," she recalled. "People knew I had to go back to Czech, so I was kind of busy."
Nasty said that since he's been her agent she appeared in about 90 titles, and she estimates she did at least that many before she hooked up with him.
When Nasty met her, he recalled, she barely spoke a word of English. "In three months she went from one or two words to speaking like she does now."
De'Nyle said she had originally planned to shoot Throat Yogurt herself, "but I think it would be the perfect thing to start her out with."
"I know exactly what I want," Dee said. "I want exactly what I gave before to my scenes."
"She'll be grabbin' girls by the back of the head"‘Do it like this!'" De'Nyle joked. "That's why she's here. She's paid her dues. She's one of the nasty girls in the business. She's a girl after my own heart."
De'Nyle plans to have her direct every month.
"I'm going to be with her on set on her first few movies," she said, "to train her and teach her and let her just do her thing from then on. Because being in front of the camera is one thing, but when you step behind it it's a whole other world. I'm confident that she'll be able to handle it. She's a quick learner. I don't think it's going to be that hard for her to figure out."
"I don't think so either," Dee said. ‘If you want to, you learn quick, and I want to."
She pointed out that she is used to dealing with female talent because she had operated an agency in the Czech Republic. "I did that with my best girlfriend," she said, "but now I will leave the agency just for her, because I'm staying here."
"She's got a job to do and a husband to keep," De'Nyle said. "There's no slack for this girl now."
Throat Yogurt will be released September 16.

Da giorni circalo la notizia che ci sarebbero degli attori/attrici che sono nella lista di circa 50-60 attori che sono stati messi in quarantena finche altri test confirmano che non sono stati infettati.
La AVN.com indica in questo articolo pubblicato oggi il 7 maggio 2004, che l'attore Jay Ashley e andato (con la sua ragazza Aurora Snow, che e' andata li per girare film per la Sin City) nella Repubblica Czeca per girare film. Secondo AIM, Ashley avrebbe girato una scena con Banesca il 9 aprile 2004 (in cui le ha fatto un creampie vaginale)
Jay Ashley Deceives Talent in Czech Republic; Breaks Quarantine
By: Scott Ross
05-07-2004
PRAGUE - Sources in the Czech Republic have confirmed that veteran performer/director Jay Ashley has been attempting to work over there even though he is among the 53 performers quarantined by the AIM Healthcare Foundation because they may have been exposed to the HIV virus.
Ashley reportedly lied about his quarantine status, saying that he had not worked for six months and thus there was no danger that he had been exposed to HIV.
The director/performer had been quarantined by AIM after he was identified as person who had worked with Banesca, a performer who had worked with Darren James. Banesca has not had a HIV test since Darren James was found to be HIV-positive.
Ashley was one of five men working with Banesca on April 9 that ejaculated internally in her vagina.
Ashley traveled to the Czech Republic with Sin City contract performer Aurora Snow, his girlfriend.
Sin City publicist Jeff Mullen had previously told AVN.com that Snow was going over to the Czech Republic to shoot for Sin City, but did not mention Ashley at that time.
Representatives from Sin City were unavailable for comment.
As of today, no performers have been removed from quarantine.

[size=9:8b387fcde1]L.T. Turner Disputes Quarantine Status
By: Scott Ross
05-07-2004
CHATSWORTH, Calif. - L.T. Turner, a male performer on the second-generation list, has broken the quarantine. Turner claims that he did not break the quarantine, but that he was released from it with approval from the AIM Healthcare Foundation.
Turner worked with Jocelyn on March 24. Jocelyn had worked with Darren James on March 19. Thirty days after Jocelyn's scene with James, she still had negative HIV test results.
But Jocelyn won't be clear until at least May 19, and Turner won't be clear until Jocelyn is.
Turner first claimed that Dr. York cleared him from the quarantine. Informed that Dr. York was no longer with AIM Healthcare Foundation, Turner then said that AIM's executive director Sharon Mitchell had cleared him.
Mitchell told AVN.com last night that she had not cleared anyone from the quarantine, including Turner. "Sure, he's probably at a very low risk, I don't think he is going to have any problems, but no one has been cleared yet," Mitchell said.
"Until Jocelyn has passed the second thirty day window, he's not clear. That's all there is to it," Mitchell added.
This morning Turner still disputed that he was quarantined. When told about Mitchell's statements last night, Turner stated that he had talked to Mitchell yesterday as well, and that she had cleared him.
"Well she told that to me, you can say what you want to. I wouldn't put anybody's life at risk. What does Alicia say? I tested negative already four times," Turner said.
"And I talked to her in person. I was there talking to her face to face," Turner added.
And Mitchell believes that may be where the confusion comes from. "People are down here all the time, and everything is so hectic around here that maybe he thought I was clearing him by saying, sure you're probably fine."
"If he wants to hear that he is clear, that's what he is going to hear," Mitchell said.
Nicole Brazelle, who was removed from quarantine after she recanted her story of working with another male talent on the quarantine list, is the only person that Turner is known to have worked with, though Turner has indicated to AVN.com that there have been other women and that there may be even more women.
"You are not a doctor, so you can't tell me what to do," Turner said, denying that he was quarantined this morning.
It should be noted that Turner did wear a condom in his scene with Brazelle.
And Mitchell acknowledges that there is nobody that can make Turner abide by the quarantine.
"Here's what happens with a lot of people, we get to the thirty day mark and they start wanting to work," Mitchell said. "The quarantine is for sixty days, because the percentages are extremely small after thirty days, but there is a small chance. We want no chance.
"I am not the police, I can not prevent him from working, but if he chooses to do so, it is at his own risk," Mitchell added.
But Turner is quarantined. [/size:8b387fcde1]

`Do it, or we'll find another girl who will'
Lara Roxx followed orders
Novice porn star now HIV positive
RICK WESTHEAD
STAFF REPORTER
MONTREAL"Lara Roxx's gateway to the adult film industry is a nondescript three-storey home that sits kitty-corner from an elementary school and directly across the street from an ice cream parlour.
In early January, the 21-year-old arrived at the unlikely headquarters of the Eromodel Group, an agency that promises admission to the $11-billion (U.S.) pornography business.
Roxx carried a blue-and-white bikini and a desire to appear in enough adult films to set aside $30,000, money she planned to use to open an escort or modelling agency.
Four months later, her quest is in shambles.
On April 15, Roxx, who agreed to be interviewed if her real name was not used, became the second of five adult film stars to test positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Yesterday, an actress who uses the name Miss Arroyo became the latest performer to test positive.
The news, which marked the first HIV outbreak in the industry in at least five years, prompted more than 30 companies to agree to a 60-day moratorium to give hundreds of other actors time to get their own test results. (The pornography industry, based in California's San Fernando Valley, churns out about 4,000 films and videos a year, generating almost as much revenue as mainstream North American studios.)
Roxx, however, wasn't supposed to leave for Los Angeles as soon as she did.
Her agent, Daniel Perreault of Eromodel, advised her to wait. He told her she was too young and naà¯ve to withstand pressure from producers who'd demand she have anal sex with several men to collect her $1,000-$1,500 paycheque. Perreault suggested she remain in Montreal for at least another year, performing straight sex scenes for Internet sites.
"She was like a young puppy with her nose everywhere," says Perreault, who represents about 60 women. "She just didn't want to take any advice. She wanted to figure things out on her own."
But Roxx " who dabbled in drugs at 14, moved into her own apartment at 16 when her parents divorced and spent three years dancing in Montreal strip clubs " says she felt ready for mainstream porn.
"I knew how the stripping business worked and I thought the porn business worked the same way," she says. "I guess I was wrong on that one."
On March 24, Roxx agreed to do an unprotected scene with Darren James " from whom she believes she contracted the virus " and an actor named Marc Anthony, even though she initially told the film's director she didn't want to do it.
His response, Roxx says, was: "That's what we need. Either do it or we'll find another girl who will.'"
Roxx shot five sex scenes with four men that day. "I didn't want to disappoint my agent," she says.
The next morning, Roxx woke up with a painful bacterial infection that forced her to cancel that day's shoot. Her health soon worsened. On April 10, Roxx visited a medical centre because of a sore throat and was diagnosed with viral pharyngitis.
Three days later she learned that James, who'd shot a movie in Brazil days before he filmed the scene with Roxx, had tested positive for HIV. On April 15, Roxx's test results confirmed she, too, was HIV positive.
The news came in a meeting with Sharon Mitchell, a former adult film star who runs the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation, which monitors the industry.
"I remember shaking and crying," Roxx says. "I asked if there was anything we could do to get rid of it since we caught it so fast."
Now living in a Montreal-area shelter, Roxx says she has turned her attention to a foundation she's trying to start that would financially support HIV-positive patients. She says she wants to break into the music industry, and has started writing hip-hop lyrics.
"My mother thinks I should bury myself under the floor and cry until I'm dead," Roxx says. "That's not how I want to react to this."
She raises the prospect of a lawsuit. "Someone did something wrong or I wouldn't have HIV," she says.
Daniel Lighter, Roxx's lawyer, says "there's no question" there will be legal action in the U.S. "What makes it difficult is determining who was behind the shoots and whether those people have the funds to make ... a suit worthwhile," he said.

HIV Outbreak in Calif. Porn Films Contained
Wed May 12, 8:30 PM ET Add Movies - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The lucrative Los Angeles porn film industry, crippled by an HIV (news - web sites) outbreak last month, lifted a self-imposed moratorium on Wednesday after half the actors placed under quarantine were given the all-clear.
"We feel very confident that there will be no more HIV outbreaks. We have contained this outbreak," said Sharon Mitchell, director of the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, or AIM, which runs an HIV-screening program for the industry.
The multibillion dollar industry in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, dubbed "Porn Valley," employs some 6,000 people in 200 production companies turning out dozens of pornographic films and videos a week.
It was thrown into crisis last month when five actors tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS (news - web sites), in the biggest such outbreak in the Southern California adult industry since 1998. The industry decided to impose a 60-day moratorium on filming in a bid to stop the virus spreading further.
The virus is thought to have been passed by one actor to three women with whom he had on-screen sex without a condom. The fifth person was a transsexual performer unrelated to the other cases.
AIM said on Wednesday that about half of the 50 porn actors under quarantine because they had worked directly with the HIV positive actor or the actresses he had sex with had now tested negative for HIV three times in 45 days.
"If you are not shooting any of the people still under the quarantine list, then I see no reason not to start shooting again," Mitchell said.
She said she expected those still under quarantine to be taken off the list in the next three or four weeks.
Mitchell said the industry had mostly responded very well to the voluntary shut-down and that there had been no pressure from within the industry to end the moratorium early.
"No one wants to shoot an HIV infection actually happening," Mitchell said. "Most people realized that the moratorium was a necessary evil."
The outbreak of the potentially deadly virus prompted calls for mandatory condom use on film sets and inspections of film shoots. But the proposals were resisted by porn film producers who argued that using condoms would take the X out of sex scenes and drive the industry out of California or underground.

A Young Adult Film Star's HIV Heartbreak
May 11, 2004
You may not know the name LARA ROXX, but ever since the headline-catching HIV scares within the adult film industry came to light last month, you probably know her tragic story. The 21-year-old Canada native sits down with our own JANN CARL to talk candidly about how she got into the business, what her future holds, and how she first found out she was HIV-positive.
"I knew over the phone that I was HIV-positive," she says of the phone call she got from SHARON MITCHELL of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation. "She was really upset, just like a mother."
Roxx says things didn't get any better when she finally made it to the office to get the test results. "I remember her showing me the paperwork. Usually it says 'Not detected,' but it said 'Detected' with a bright red crayon circled around it. I was freaking out and started shaking and was trying not to cry."
She says it was Mitchell who calmed her down. "She was telling me how it would be alright and that it wasn't what it was 15 years ago. That I could still walk and talk and live."
The dark-haired Roxx was born in Montreal and raised in Quebec and says that growing up, her family "had great moments," but most of her home life was not harmonious. And at 17 years old (with the help of a fake ID), she became a stripper and eventually turned to the X-rated world.
"I thought that $2,000 a day sounded attractive," she admits. "I expected that I could go and sleep with whoever I wanted and I thought that the actresses ruled. I thought you could go in and say, 'I will do this and this and this and I won't do this and this and this,' and they would say, 'Okay, you're hired!'"
It was on April 13 that Roxx's world turned upside down. That was the day she found out she had contracted the virus from a fellow industry actor. And although the actors are required to be tested every 30 days, on April 20 a list of 51 actors and actresses who might have been exposed to HIV from her or the man she received it from was released, and a 60-day halt on all Los Angeles-based production was implemented. Roxx says that was exactly the right move.
"If they hadn't, I would have tried to make them shut it down," she says. "It's good what they've done because it's only normal. If they didn't, they wouldn't be moral. I think it would have been wrong if it wasn't shut down."
But she says the mass amount of interest is the most distressing to her. "The media attention was the most upsetting thing for me and my mom and all of my siblings," she reveals. "I didn't have time to tell them what happened to me and they saw it on TV."
Although Roxx is keeping a positive attitude, she does admit it's scary to think about, especially when it comes to wanting to start a family one day. "I just thought, 'What about my future husband, my future kids and my future dog?'" She says, recalling the day she found out. "'Where's that going? Straight down the toilet!'"
The strong-spirited Roxx says that she is an artist at heart and is hoping to move on to mainstream acting and possibly an album. And she says this heartbreaking situation has actually taught her some useful life lessons.
"I learned a lot of things," she says. "I now understand the things that people tried to tell me earlier in my life. Like, 'You have to understand how fragile life really is and how dangerous it can be.'"

The dark-haired Roxx was born in Montreal and raised in Quebec and says that growing up, her family "had great moments," but most of her home life was not harmonious. And at 17 years old (with the help of a fake ID), she became a stripper and eventually turned to the X-rated world.
"I thought that $2,000 a day sounded attractive," she admits. "I expected that I could go and sleep with whoever I wanted and I thought that the actresses ruled. I thought you could go in and say, 'I will do this and this and this and I won't do this and this and this,' and they would say, 'Okay, you're hired!'"
It was on April 13 that Roxx's world turned upside down. That was the day she found out she had contracted the virus from a fellow industry actor. And although the actors are required to be tested every 30 days, on April 20 a list of 51 actors and actresses who might have been exposed to HIV from her or the man she received it from was released, and a 60-day halt on all Los Angeles-based production was implemented. Roxx says that was exactly the right move.
"If they hadn't, I would have tried to make them shut it down," she says. "It's good what they've done because it's only normal. If they didn't, they wouldn't be moral. I think it would have been wrong if it wasn't shut down."
But she says the mass amount of interest is the most distressing to her. "The media attention was the most upsetting thing for me and my mom and all of my siblings," she reveals. "I didn't have time to tell them what happened to me and they saw it on TV."
Although Roxx is keeping a positive attitude, she does admit it's scary to think about, especially when it comes to wanting to start a family one day. "I just thought, 'What about my future husband, my future kids and my future dog?'" She says, recalling the day she found out. "'Where's that going? Straight down the toilet!'"
The strong-spirited Roxx says that she is an artist at heart and is hoping to move on to mainstream acting and possibly an album. And she says this heartbreaking situation has actually taught her some useful life lessons.
"I learned a lot of things," she says. "I now understand the things that people tried to tell me earlier in my life. Like, 'You have to understand how fragile life really is and how dangerous it can be.'"
