Vivid Entertainment and Wicked Pictures were the first porn production companies to publicly announce that they would halt production on adult films in the wake of news that a male porn performer tested positive for HIV. Several other porn studios have followed suit, including Hustler Video, Digital Playground, Jennaration X Studios, Girlfriends Films and Kick Ass Pictures.
Mark Kulkis (Kick Ass Pictures President): "I'm still playing it by ear right now. For next week I haven't decided because I don't know what's going on yet. We're taking a wait and see approach for the next few days because we have a bit of time before our next shoot dates."
Jennaration X Studios wrapped its most recent title and canceled two scenes scheduled for later on in the week. Jenna Haze, owner of Jennaration X Studios, has suspended production for 30 days.
Samantha Lewis (Digital Playground CEO): "I want to take the time to talk to all my performers before I make any big announcement, but we are canceling all of our shoots for the foreseeable future."
Hustler Video is wrapping production on its current project and will suspend all production until it receives more information.
Rob Smith (Hustler Video Director of Operations): "While we have suspended all future production plans in the short term, we will conclude our current shoot which will wrap within the week. We have no plans to begin additional production until we get a better overview of the current situation."
