An adult actor who contracted HIV through unprotected sex shut down Los Angeles' adult film industry Monday night. An involuntary sexual health database was established less than a month ago in order to curtail the spread of sexually transmitted disease within the notoriously promiscuous community.

Many adult entertainers feel that condoms decrease pleasure and the number of viewers. Furthermore, the porn industry is experiencing its own sort of economic crisis, as viewers have access to unlimited amounts of free porn on the internet. Demand for paid porn has been decreasing while supply has been increasing, causing imbalances that can only be corrected by product differentiation. One way of differentiating your product, at least little, is to have unprotected sex, which increases demand for your product.

Actors must be listed in the database in order to get work and are tested every 30 days. Doctors and other critics maintain that the window period in which STDs are undetectable presents many dangers as porn actors do not only have sex with each other and many actors are new to the industry.

Many industry members arrive from the obviously unregulated prostitution industry.

I used to be a hooker in Nevada for a while. I worked at a brothel, adult actress Rikki Love, 26, of New Jersey, said in an interview. I found my agent through Craig's List. Really, I always wanted to do porn...I just needed to find my way in. And it all kinda fell together. I got my name cause I used to [expletive] a girl whose real name was Rikki, and Scott (from Overboard) came up with my last name, she added.

Testing is not a substitute for condom use, and it never will be, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation in Lost Angeles Michael Weinstein said. No test can detect HIV from the moment of infection. There will always be a window period, he added.

The Free Speech Coalition, the group behind the database, publicly announced the HIV-positive test result and promptly shut down production.

It is still unclear how many people the HIV-positive individual had sexual intercourse with.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is urging mandatory condom use for the industry. This is sort of an uphill battle, pushing uphill young individuals who are already aware of the risks and do not seem to care.

If the market would accept condom-positive movies, that's what we would all be making. The fact is consumers don't want that, General Manager of Evil Angel Productions and Free Speech Coalition board member Christian Mann told ABC News. The market will always trump regulation. If you make it so California-based productions cannot compete in the market, you'll just drive production out of the state, Mann explained.
