Conflation of AIDS/HIV and complications arising from either edit
Under a picture of Josh Weston, a caption notes that he died "of AIDS" in 2012. In fact, Josh Weston never devolped AIDS, and died of septic shock from a bacterial infection, that could have arose from complications of his HIV+ condition, but certainly hasn't been confirmed to be the case and there are no sources sited. Whether or not Weston's death had anything to do with his HIV status or not, he didn't have AIDS and he didn't die from it. I'd question the relevance of this picture on this article at all. Maybe it should be removed? The caption should certainly be rewritten. Vyehdkok (talk) 16:23, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
rename? edit
Shouldn't this be HIV/AIDS in the pornographic film industry or HIV in the pornographic film industry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.189.45 (talk) 21:19, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Actually, shouldn't it be "HIV/AIDS in the United States pornographic film industry"? Nowhere else seems to be mentioned. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:24, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Propose broaden scope and rename edit

I propose that the scope of this article be broadened and that it be ranamed STDs in the porn industry. There isn't only a problem with HIV/AIDS, and it isn't only among those in the porn FILM industry. Lightbreather (talk) 19:56, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Notice of standardizing citation formatting, dates, etc. edit
I'm going to spend a day or two standardizing the article's citation formatting, including dates. The dates are a hodge-podge, but the first and last are in "dd Month yyyy" format, so that's what I'm going to use. Lightbreather (talk) 21:07, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Wallice sources edit
The Wallice paragraph in the 1980s and 1990s section is not well sourced. I am preserving these here for discussion.

"Porn" in the title edit
Considering this is an informal short form of 'pornography', perhaps this article should be renamed to 'STDs in the pornography industry'? Banedon (talk) 01:21, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Split off HIV/AIDS section? edit
The section on HIV/AIDS in the porn industry has more than enough content for its own article, and splitting it off would free up the rest of the main article for coverage of STDs in the porn industry in general, as well as of non-HIV/AIDS STDs in said industry.

2010s edit
On October 12, 2010, AIM reported that an actor or actress had been infected with HIV. The name and gender of the person was not released to the public.[1]
- Whoop whoop pull up, see WP:Spinout and WP:No split. Going by the current state of the article, and that most of the research into "STDs in the porn industry" has concerned HIV/AIDS, there is no need at all to split off that content into its own article; it is relatively small, and so is the article as a whole. Ideally, content should only be split off into its own article when needed. You can ask at WP:Med for more opinions on this matter. Flyer22 (talk) 15:22, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

2016 California Election: Proposition 60 edit
2012 was not the only year in California that a ballot initiative was proposed to require the wearing of condoms in porn shot within the state, but nothing in this article really speaks beyond that. Should we not include a section on Proposition 60, which further sought (supposedly) to protect pornstars and other adult actors in the state from STIs?
