Sexually transmitted infections in the pornography industry

Workers in the sex industry deal with the occupational safety and health hazard of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Since the 1980s many cases of pornographic performers contracting HIV/AIDS have been reported. However, since the mid-2000s strict adherence to rigorous STI testing, and limiting sexual contact with only fellow tested performers has halted the spread of HIV and other STIs in the industry.
