Safe Porn?

An adult film actor in South Africa, Tau Morena, is promising to make all his actors wear condoms in order to promote safe sex.  South Africa has one of the world’s highest HIV/AIDS cases. A research in 2008 estimated that 10.9% of all South Africans over 2 years old were living with HIV. Other studies report higher statistics. Activists and international groups have advocated for a more focused education to promote safe sex.

For a porn director to join the call emphasizes how much the problem is getting out of hand. It’s no secret that nicety and pornography tend not to go hand in hand. In the US, federal law requires all adult film actors to be tested for HIV. Such testing agencies do not even exist in South Africa. Condoms and HIV are not the best of friends and so it is encouraging to see the South African adult industry embrace the use of condoms.
