Free Speech Coalition Calls For 'Precautionary Production Hold'

The Free Speech Coalition issued the following statement Friday at approximately 3:30pm. CANOGA PARK, Calif.—The Free Speech Coalition is calling for a precautionary production hold after a possible positive test for HIV by an adult performer using the PASS (Performer Availability Screening Service) system. The test has not yet been confirmed, and we will know if it is a true positive or false positive in the next day. If it is a false positive, we will lift the hold within the next few days. Nevertheless, out of an abundance of precaution, we will be retesting anyone who might have had contact with the performer within the testing window, and ask that producers stop filming until we know more. The adult industry periodically calls for production holds when any possible positive tests surface.
