As the civil war in regards to elements relating to pornstar STD testing, HIV and consent continues – Alexandra Mayers has discovered that there has not been enough data obtained just yet by Gilead Sciences in regards to whether or not PreP pharmaceuticals (which the Free Speech Coalition is suggesting female pornstars take) alter the effectiveness of the pill form of hormonal birth control.
Is the Free Speech Coalition pushing PreP to women who are pornstars and sexworkers in effort to assist Gilead Sciences in concluding some of their studies in regards to how PreP effects women? From Alexandra’s perspective the American porn industry should not be viewed (or used) as a “petri dish”.
Alexandra doesn’t take issue with the reality of the PreP being approximately 97% effective for men in monogamous relationships – nor does she dispute the for the most part Undetectable equates to Untransmittable (U=U) – but the reality is that the pornography industry is NOT a monogamous relationship.
The mantra of PreP equating to Birth Control is illogical from Alexandra’s perspective – as a pregnancy can be terminated (aborted), but HIV can only be suppressed (as of current) rather than completely terminated.
