Porn studios across Los Angeles area have been urged to temporarily halt filming after an adult film performer was tested HIV-positive
The Free Speech Coalition, a Canoga Park-based porn industry trade, asked them to shutdown productions until further testing is completed.
"Until we know for sure, we've asked the industry to have a moratorium on production," the Los Angeles Times quoted Diane Duke, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, as saying.
Some company officials, including those at well-known studios such as Hustler Video and Evil Angel, have agreed to the temporary shutdown, Duke said.
