Adult film production in Los Angeles has been temporarily halted after performer Cameron Bay tested positive for HIV, according to AVN (Adult Video News). Bay has worked on and off in the adult industry since 2010.
The Free Speech Coalition (FSC), speaking on behalf of several industry groups, said two separate testing facilities, Cutting Edge Testing and Talent Testing Services, each ran tests and confirmed the result. The statement said there is no evidence of an on set transmission and that notification of her first generation partners was nearly complete. A production moratorium will stay in place until those partners have been tested and cleared.
Bay’s agent, Mark Schechter of ATMLA, said she was distraught by the news but has been fully cooperative with medical personnel so partners could be notified as quickly as possible. He praised her for acting responsibly during a difficult time.
Bay also spoke out herself. She said she hopes no other performers have been affected and plans to help medical professionals and her fellow performers, and then focus on taking care of her own health. In her words, “I am hopeful that no other performers have been affected.”
The news has renewed conversation about how performers are tested and how often the industry has to pause production when a case surfaces. Baller Alert reached out to Bay on Twitter for comment and had not received a response at the time of publishing.
We are wishing Cameron well. HIV is a manageable condition with treatment, and we hope she and everyone connected to the situation get the care and privacy they need.
