LA adult film industry resumes production in wake of HIV scare

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The nation's top adult movie maker has resumed production nearly a month after five performers were infected with HIV, shutting down much of the multibillion-dollar porn industry.

Vivid Entertainment Group started filming again Saturday, said the company's production manager, Shailar.

"It's over. Business is looking up," said Tim Connelly, publisher of the industry online magazine AVN.

Dozens of companies have taken part in a voluntary moratorium pending HIV testing since actor Darren James apparently contracted the virus that causes AIDS in March while shooting a movie in Brazil.

2. Back to the Grind......
I've often wondered if the men, or women for that matter, show up early for work everyday. I know I would.
