How do pornstars not get pregnant or get diseases?

[haru]

This has probably been answered but I've always wondered, why don't pornstars get pregnant or get any type of diseases? Or do they and we don't hear about 'em?

[Edit] Can mods move this to the correct place? Thank you and sorry again.

I'm not sure where this goes either ...

She isn't JAV, but I always thought Shyla Foxx (sp?) was a fox. Big boobs. Hips made for breeding. Deep brown eyes and long hair. Yummy! Saw an interview with her one and she is a law student who paid her way through college with porn.

Then I read one day that she got hepatitus, a disease of the liver. She got it at a porn shoot. She said they test for aids (but even that is sketchy since you're trusting the actor not to have sex after the test and it may not be detected because of incubation time). She said the shoot she got hepatitus there was a lot of organs, props and fingers flying everywhere. She said she got incredibly sick after it and had to take a long break from work to recover. She is a babe, but everytime I saw her after that my stomach felt sick.

As for AIDS, recently in the San Fernando Valley (LA porn scene) recently a group of actors got infected. Someone got it, and spread it around.

Porn might be nice to look at, but making it has a downside.

yeesh. you don't here about that too often. i guess the majority of those who don't come down with some kind of disease usually has themselves and their partners screened for them..

I saw a documentary about a porn actress once. She said she recieved many STDs and doing pornagraphy is actually really hard, physically and mentally

They do get diseases, but probably not many of them get pregnant, since all of them are probably on the pill and about half the porn stuff is done with condoms on (cause of diseases) half the time so there's even less chance of getting pregnant. But getting STD's is not that hard...people assume that they sleep with a lot of people but there's not that many people in porn, at least in the USA. It's always the same guys and the same girls...anyways...the truth is they probably do get a lot of STD's but not that many of them get pregnant though.

i would imagine that any actress who has a deal with a major studio, that major studio probably rigorously tests her and the other actors. after porn is a business and the actress is nothing more than an investment. and in order to protect that investment, they all probably get tested and prescribed 'the pill'.

as for random dudes who pay chicks to fuck and put it on the net. dumb luck is how they dont end up diseased and knocked up.

The same way we avoid these problems.

Using protection,regular tests/checkup's.
The AV stars go thru a bunch of different test to make sure they have a clean bill of health.

They may be in an industry which some ppl may look down on, but they are still humans.

[AVNet]

In order to work in the porn industry you have to have a regular "clean health" certificate; which means health test every so often for STD and also a health so often for other illness or diseases. ( I forgot what was the time frame)

Once you are diagnosed as being ill you will not be allowed to work until you are ceritified well again. This is one step toward keeing everyone safe ... It is not 100% fool-proof as demonstrated by a few "black sheep" who has caused other actors and actresses much harm by being dishonest.

Pregnancy usually isn't an issue, as the women are on the pill and most of the men have completely fucked up sperm from all the recreational drugs.

As for disease, people in the porn Industry die from AIDS all the time, and there's also a decent black market in supplying 4th-generation beta lactams as well as anti-retro viral cocktails (Uracil, AZT, etc) for prophylactic use. Hep. C, Warts, and Herpes are pretty much the norm as well.
