AIDS Healthcare Foundation continues push for condom use in porn
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has filed an appeal in its quest to require condom use on adult film sets.
The Foundation filed a lawsuit last July against the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
The lawsuit followed a month after revelations that a porn actress had tested positive for HIV. The suit asked the Court to order L.A. County to require condom use or other reasonable steps that would protect adult film actors from sexually transmitted diseases.
A Superior Court judge dismissed the case in late December, and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation is appealing that decision. The Foundation has also petitioned state regulators to consider amending state law so it would require condom use in adult film productions.
