I did a BTS interview with Asa Akira on the set of the Adam & Eve movie Alexis & Asa, she takes these things very seriously.

If you have not read my previous open letter to AIDS Healthcare Foundation, you can find it here. In 2007, AB 1334 was introduced to the CA State Assembly. It was “an act to amend sections 286 and 288a of, and to add Section 5012 to, the Penal Code, relating to corrections.” According to AB 1334: “This bill would enact the Inmate and Community Public Health and Safety Act, which would require the secretary to allow any nonprofit or health care agency to distribute sexual barrier protection devices, as specified. The bill would state that the distribution of those devices shall not be considered a crime nor shall it be deemed to encourage sexual acts between inmates. The bill would specify that possession of one of those devices shall not be used as evidence of illegal activity for purposes of administrative sanctions.” In 2007, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) was in full support of this amendment to the law. In their argument in support of AB 1334, they state:

“As the largest HIV specialized primary care provider in the nation with the    largest prevention and testing program in California and an HIV testing program in L.A. County jails, AHF recognizes correctional facilities as one of many fronts in the battle against HIV and AIDS.  This measure authorizing the director of the state department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to allow county health departments and health care organizations to distribute prophylactics and dental dams to the incarcerated is a major step in the fight against HIV transmission not just among prison inmates but the communities to which they are paroled.  As everyone is aware statistics show that the percentage of new cases of HIV among Latinas and African-American women exceed their percentage in the general population.  Disproportionate representation of communities of color in the inmate population and the higher rates of HIV infection make this proposal an essential tool in implementing a good public health policy regarding HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.”

AB 1334 passed in the State Assembly & Senate, but it was vetoed by then CA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger because “the provisions of this bill conflict with Penal Code Sections 286 (e) and 288 (e), which make sexual activity in prison unlawful.” He added: “However, condom distribution in prisons is not an unreasonable public policy and it is consistent with the need to improve our prison healthcare system and overall public health.”  In 2007, AHF fully supported having condoms provided to inmates in CA State prisons. But in 2013, when AB 999 – the Prisoner Protections for Family and Community Health Act – was presented, they were not one of the registered supporters of the bill. AB 999 was introduced just one week after CA Assemblymember Isadore Hall III introduced AB 332 – a bill that requires the use of condoms and other protective barriers whenever acts of vaginal or anal intercourse are filmed during the course of porn production. The California state prison population has been reduced due to court order by approximately 25,000 since 2006. That’s 25,000 members of the former inmate population out in the general population. How many of those former prisoners had unprotected sexual intercourse while in prison, contracted HIV or other STIs, and have now been released untested back into our communities? How many of those prisoners went back to California’s 64th District, which is represented by Assemblymember Isadore Hall III?  Are Assemblymember Hall’s constituents aware that he is more concerned about regulating porn than protecting them from released prisoners with HIV and other STIs? Are AHF donors aware that President Michael Weinstein is so preoccupied with his obsession to regulate porn that he’s ignoring a bill that could actually protect the public? If AHF is as concerned about public health as they have claimed to be, why did they give up on prisoners and go after porn stars?

This is what I found in my phone after letting Dani Daniels send pictures to herself from it.

According to the bill, “The HIV infection rate in prison is documented to be five times higher than in the general population. Most experts believe the actual infection rate to be far higher than what is documented. By not distributing condoms in our prisons, we are not only ignoring the realities of prison, but we are abandoning the predominantly low-income and minority populations outside of prison who will eventually have the most contact with these former inmates.”

As stated in the bill, “According to CDCR’s data, an average of 1,240 inmates are infected with HIV/AIDS in California’s prisons. CDCR estimates the cost of care for these inmates at over $18 million. Because CDCR does not require HIV testing, the true number of infected inmates is unknown. According to the University of California, San Francisco, the rate of HIV infection among inmates is eight to ten times higher than among the general population.”

After reading AB 999, I was surprised to see that AIDS Healthcare Foundation was not listed as one of the registered supporters of the bill.  I want to ask AIDS Healthcare Foundation President Michael Weinstein, why doesn’t AHF support AB 999? Does AHF not believe that condoms in California prisons would help cut HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) rates amongst permanent and soon to be release prisoners?  Does AHF not believe untested prisoners that have HIV or other STIs upon release are not a public health risk?  Why has AHF chosen to attack the self regulated adult industry with AB 332, instead of putting their full support behind AB 999?  Assemblymember Isadore Hall III of California’s 64th District, introduced AB 332 just one week before AB 999 was introduced. Was AHF not aware that a bill pertaining to condoms in prisons was being worked on?  Doesn’t AHF believe it’s inhumane to deny prisoners protection from HIV and other STIs?  If so, why wouldn’t they fully support AB 999?

I am not a lawyer, or a politician, just an average guy that works in the adult entertainment industry.  Adult performers and the industry as a whole have been referred to as a public health risk by AIDS Healthcare Foundation.  I believe that AB 999 is a bill that would help stop the spread of HIV and other STIs that are contracted in prison and spread to the general public. As a California resident, tax payer, and adult industry member I want to know – why doesn’t AIDS Healthcare Foundation support AB 999?
