CANOGA PARK, Calif. – Adult industry trade association Free Speech Coalition on Tuesday called for a continuation of the voluntary production moratorium that began Aug. 20 after a routine blood test indicated a performer was HIV-positive.

“We are waiting on additional information that should be in today or tomorrow [before making a decision about lifting the moratorium],” said FSC Chief Executive Officer Diane Duke. “We will keep industry members posted and anticipate lifting the moratorium soon.”

As an extra precaution, when the moratorium is lifted, only performer tests taken on or after Aug. 19 will be valid.

“If you are a performer and your [most recent health-screening] panel is dated before Aug. 19, then you will need to be retested,” Duke said.

She also said repeated last week’s assurance that the positive HIV test appears to have been an isolated incident.

“Thus far, there is no evidence whatsoever that there has been an on-set transmission of HIV,” Duke restated.

Daily updates about the status of the moratorium will be posted to the Performer Availability Screening Services website, Duke said.
