Coyne KM et al. - The authors report the frequency of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) diagnosed in performers in the adult pornographic film industry. Thirty-eight percent were diagnosed with 77 STIs, including non-specific urethritis, gonorrhoea , chlamydia and genital warts. Gonorrhoea was found exclusively at the pharynx in three heterosexual men. There were no cases of HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Monthly screening and certification is a working requirement for this population but STIs are common in an industry where unprotected sex is the norm.
