Nothing says that drama in LA will ever be boring….and the continuing saga of “HIV-in-Porn Outbreak: The Series” just reached another level in excitement with the emergence of the actual “Patient Zero” into the spotlight….armed with lawyers, of course.

The story, www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=36218

Now, it’s interesting to ask why AIM is a defendant in this suit of “Patient Zero”, since they were probably acting under duress against their strict policy of confidentiality; and because the real threat of public outing came mostly from Cal-OSHA, the LA County Health Care officials, and (indirectly) the AIDS Health Care Foundation, which, as you all know, has been pushing just as hard for public outing of all performers involved as a means of promoting their mandatory condom usage policy.

Not so surprising, though, is the appearance of the ACLU in this; since they have been consistent on defending the rights of performers and HIV+ persons to the right of privacy and confidentiality.

As for the public outing concerns: while the one performer who was confirmed to have performed with “Patient Zero” after she was infected (and was confirmed NOT to have been infected, BTW) has been exposed to the public and has even posted in some adult message boards (per BPPA policy regarding respecting performer privacy, we will not reveal his name here), there has been nothing publically outing “P0” as of yet…and I’m sure that until she decides to reveal herself, there probably won’t be any, either.

So…the saga continues.
