While I recognize the film's historic value-it led to all the films that followed like Shaft, Three the Hard Way, Slaughter, et al-I still agree with Lerone Bennett that the movie is pure cinematic garbage (and a shitty soundtrack from EW&F before they were famous). Mario is in the opening scene in the movie, which I find a bit disturbing in the same way that Brooke Shields was used in "Pretty Baby" when I saw it on HBO as a kid (use of a minor actor in an adult themed mainstream film). Melvin said the love scenes were real and unsimulated and that he contracted an STD on the set, for which he famously applied for workers comp as a union actor and used the payout to keep filming. The movie went on to (unexpectedly) make millions and created the whole Blaxploitation vibe for the 70s. He made the movie with a small loan from Bill Cosby, who only wanted his initial investment back. Melvin, the father, was basically the Jordan Peele/Get Out of his day (1971). Gay porn star infects two others with HIVĬlick to expand.I think you're thinking of his son Mario, who was about 12 or 13, and opens the film with a scene that is questionable. “Today’s report from the CDC puts truth to that industry lie.” “For years adult film producers have claimed that their testing program works and that performers who tested HIV-positive while working in the industry did not contract HIV at work, but became infected through exposure in their personal lives away from adult film sets,” he said. Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, said the porn industry failed this individual, who has not been named.

“Performers and all persons at risk for HIV infection in their professional and personal lives should discuss the use of PrEP with their medical providers.” “Condom use provides additional protection from HIV and sexually transmitted infections,” CDC officers said in the report. The CDC said testing alone is “not sufficient” to prevent HIV transmission. Through tracing of HIV sequences, researchers said Patient A was likely infected by a non-work-related partner and that Patient A then likely infected both a coworker during the second production and a non-work partner.Neither Patient A nor any of his interviewed sexual partners were on PrEP.
He also provided contact information for five male non-work-related sexual partners he’d had during the month prior to symptom onset.
The next HIV test came back positive and further testing showed he’d transmitted the virus to two men, one of whom was another adult film performer. ATLANTA - A gay porn star infected two other individuals - one another performer - with HIV despite testing negative less than a month before, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported last week in what it’s calling the “first well-documented” such case.Īccording to researchers, in 2014 a 25-year-old gay porn actor, “Patient A” in the report, tested negative for HIV and over the next 22 days had unprotected sex with 17 others.
