As you may or may not know, the positive testing of Darren James (supposedly after sex with a Brazillian prostitute) and Lara Roxx (supposedly after a double anal scene with James and another male porn star) has recently shocked the porn industry. This has halted the production of about 30 porn companies. What follows are real reactions culled from stories about this development.

"It's like when you go see a James Bond film, you don't expect to see the wires holding him up when he does an aerial stunt or for him to be wearing a crash helmet in a car chase."
Mark Kulkis, president of Los Angeles-based Kick Ass Pictures on why condoms aren’t used in some porn films.

"You've got to understand this is pornography. It doesn't shut down for Christmas and I'm afraid it won't shut down for HIV.”

"I think my first reaction was to just shake my head and go oh my God."
