Derrick Burts, a male porn performer who contracted HIV, is speaking out in favor of condom usage in the industry.

…after working in both gay and straight porn films for a few months. He had previously been identified only as Patient Zeta. …performed in straight films as “Cameron Reid” and gay films as “Derek Chambers,”…

Thankfully, none of his partners has tested positive. He contracted HIV thru what the clinic called a “known positive” performer.

…straight porn performers must show negative HIV test results before filming, the gay porn industry does not have the same restrictions … clinic staff told him they could not reveal the performer’s name or gender due to patient confidentiality.

…in the months before he tested positive for HIV, he had also contracted chlamydia, gonorrhea and herpes.
