It started with a patient testing positive for HIV. AIM Healthcare quarantined the performers who had been exposed to “Patient Zeta” and Vivid and Wicked shut down production until tests could be completed. Patient Zeta came forward and advocated for condoms in porn.

The clinic was operating under the wrong license and didn't provide all the necessary information when it applied for the correct one. A bunch of personal information on thousands of porn stars was leaked to the Internet. And the Centers for Disease Control said the porn industry was being less than cooperative with its investigation into Patient Zeta's infection.

And now, finally, the clinic appears to have closed its doors. AIMCheck.net, the site the clinic maintained which directors accessed to check porn stars' STD status, is no longer running. The Free Speech Coalition is trying to help the porn industry find another way to effectively test and track porn stars. And they're vilifying the AIDS Healthcare Foundation for insisting the porn industry be made safe.

Correct us if we're wrong, but we're thinking the actors' and actresses' safety should be the primary concern. We don't much care who's on top of it, so long as they're doing their job the way they should.
