Journalist action helped shutter some bareback porn in England.
Three DVD titles have been pulled from shelves after BBC’s Newsnight revealed that a number of actors had become infected with HIV. While it’s unknown whether the actors contracted the virus while on the eight-day shoot, authorities aren’t about producers capitalizing on the deadly transmission.
Meanwhile, in related news, producer Rufus Ffoulkes will spend some time in jail after hiring a 16-year old for an unsafe porn shoot. The teen later tested positive for HIV.

Wow, that’s really quite sickening. Rufus Ffoulkes should be locked up for life, really!

While I appreciate you covering the story, I think you’re actually getting the two stories mixed up.
The Rufus Ffoulkes story is “just” about underage porn. There’s no mention in any other story (including the BBC one you linked to) about the 16-yr old testing HIV+. He was just underage.
You covered the other story yourself late last year.

If there are any lawyers reading this… PLEASE someone needs to take on these bareback companies legally. The only thing that will put a stop to it is if the actors infected on set file lawsuits and the porn studios are FORCED to pay any medical bills resulting from infection IN PERPETUITY.
Until/unless that happens, these morally bankrupt ghouls will continue to profit from endangering youth.

If you really want to put an end to this shit, quit buying bareback porn. Boycott it. If nobody buys it, they’ll stop making it. It’s all about the $$$$$.

Thankfully I’ve heard that some BB porn producers are doing HIV testing…but the cheap standard HIV antibody test with a 3 month window period instead of the more expensive PCR testing that is conducted by Adult Industry Medical for straight porn made in LA.
Regardless most BB porn is of the “gonzo” variety, it’s all about the cum fetish and has nothing to do with erotica.
