Fred writes: "When girls go into the porn industry, are they typically already infected with herpes? If not, do they know that they are almost certain to get it? Or does it come as a rude surprise?"
If girls understood the consequences of doing porn, 80% of them would never get into it. People who think ahead about STDs or anything generally do not perform sex on camera.
People who think ahead about stds pick one partner, use condoms and live with them under a rock. You choose to be a cop you can get shot. you choose to be a firmen you can get burned. you choose to be a drug dealer you can get rich!
The funny thing is that the industry, with that mentality is opening to become a easy target for the ambulance chasers. Kira Kenner will not the only one. Maybe in Wicked they are visionaries.
