Sexually transmitted infections in the pornography industry

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are germs that can make people sick when they have sex with someone who already has the germs. They can spread through different kinds of sex, like vaginal, anal, and oral sex. There are many types of STIs, like HIV, herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. In the pornography industry, actors make movies and videos of themselves having sex, and they can be at risk of getting STIs too.

To protect themselves, pornography actors take some extra steps to make sure they don't get sick. They get regular STI checks to make sure they don't have any germs before they start working. They also use condoms a lot of the time, which are like little balloons that go over the penis to protect from germs. Actors also make sure to get vaccinated against some STIs, like hepatitis B.

Even with all these precautions, it's still possible for actors to get sick. That's why some companies have strict rules about what kinds of sex can be filmed, and they might stop filming if someone gets sick. The industry also has groups that work to educate actors about how to stay safe and healthy. Even though it might seem like fun and games, being a pornography actor is a job just like any other, and staying healthy is important for everyone involved.
