The adult film actress who caused a temporary shutdown of porn production after she tested positive for HIV had the results confirmed.
The 28-year-old porn star, who goes by the name Cameron Bay, tested positive for the virus this week after an earlier screening for sexually transmitted diseases came back inconclusive, the adult news site AVN Media Network reported.
The Free Speech Coalition, an industry trade group, said that additional testing confirmed the positive results.
“We are saddened to report that the tests involving performer Cameron Bay have been confirmed as positive for HIV,” the group said..
“As difficult as this news is for me today, I am hopeful that no other performers have been affected,” Bay said in a release.
“I plan on doing everything possible to assist the medical professionals and my fellow performers. Following that, my long term plan is to take care of myself and my health.”
Mark Schechter, owner of Adult Talent Managers LA, which represents Bay, said the porn actress’s “courage should be lauded.”
“Cameron is obviously distraught over this conclusive information,” he said, adding that the actress has been cooperative with medical personnel.
“Cameron has been a model citizen acting responsibly at this most difficult time.”
The HIV scare prompted a moratorium on adult filmmaking after the Free Speech Coalition called for a halt to porn production.
The shutdown also sparked concern for Anthony Weiner’s sexting pal Sydney Leathers, who shot her first adult film with Xander Corvus, the last actor to work with Bay before she tested positive for HIV, Gawker reported.
Leathers, 23, told the website that she and Corvus, who played the sex-crazed politician in the newly released “Weiner and Me,” were tested before they filmed the Vivid Entertainment video and were deemed “healthy.”
Leathers also told the Daily News on Thursday that she’s confident she did not contract HIV and has tested negative for the virus three times.
“I do not have HIV and have not been exposed to HIV, regardless of the reports out there saying otherwise,” she told The News.
“I took all the necessary precautions ... and acted responsibly.”
