Am I the only one following this story with such concern?

"All porn stars to be in monogamous pornographic relationships." Awww... that'd be cute. And then the swinging would start. :-)

I had been following it for a while, then went on to other business...and now there are 5 people infected (but one of them is an independent case). I was surprised by that, somehow...I guess I'd just assumed it wasn't going to go beyond the first two.

People who've just caught HIV haven't developed any anti-bodies to the virus, so a) they'll test HIV- and b) they're more infectious than someone who has.

Right, I understand the science. Still, I live in the world of people with low-risk behaviors (condom wearing, not appearing in porn, etc.), so I really had no idea the virus was _that_ transmissible.
