#TruvadaWhore: The Controversial Pill San Francisco, "a self-proclaimed gay city," is home to two gay men who are partners. One is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-positive. Max Cameron and Drew Sebastian are not just a gay couple with normal jobs, but they both work in the porn industry. According to a PSA documentary by Fusion TV, they work for Treasure Island Media, which was under fire for health law violations, by having their actor perform scenes without a condom, which is sex without a condom, and by having other HIV-positive actors perform in theirs productions. . Max admits to the camera and is shown to be taking an FDA-approved Truvada pill made by the Gilead company according to Barmann. Truvada is a pill that prevents the spread of HIV and the risk of people becoming infected with the disease, regardless of the individual's status. When the topic of sex becomes a topic of conversation, many people recoil because of their preconceived notions about sex, and many feel uncomfortable. With the controversial topic of HIV, Truvada has been getting away with it for a while; the pill introduced in 2012 barely makes the news. Truvada, a pill that prevents HIV, is hardly promoted with the fear that people will start having unprotected sex, but if properly approved and educated it can present a new way of thinking about sex and HIV. Before Truvada became FDA-approved, the only other HIV prevention was post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), which was a mixture of drugs, aka a cocktail of drugs, to help treat possible HIV infection. Although the efficacy rate was not high, the drugs were shown to work in some cases. AR Markos writes in his book Sexually Transmitted Diseases, that PEP is generally taken with people who have experienced sexual violence, drugs, exposure... middle of paper...the company Lucas Entertainment, which has released a series of videos promoting sex without a condom between porn actors. They are under the impression that Truvada, according to their boss, can be taken at any time and that the pill will still be effective. Since the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, condom use in gay porn has become the inexplicit rule that condoms will be used on set. Jonathan Agassi who filmed a bareback scene with Draven Torres, who recently filmed a scene with HIV-positive actor Mike Dozer. Agassi was once, according to Matthew Tharrett, a gay porn star who advocated condom use and considered condomless sex out of the question and dangerous (Tharrett). Agassi, putting his life in the hands of a company that is supposed to protect it, must rely on both parties taking Truvada regularly, or else he could become the next HIV-infected porn star.
