TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
The porn actor who tested positive for HIV this fall is breaking his silence to call for mandatory condom use, improved testing, and follow-up care. Previously identified only as Patient Zeta, Derrick Burts was so impressed with the care he received at the AIDS Healthcare Foundation—despite being urged not to go there by the Adult Industry Medical Foundation—that he’s decided to speak out on their behalf. Burts says the industry foundation failed to get him treatment. They also publicly insisted that he had “acquired the virus through private, personal activity,” despite, Burt says, telling him he likely acquired it during a gay porn shoot in Florida.
