Porn studios across Los Angeles area have been urged to temporarily halt filming after an adult film performer was tested HIV-positive

The Free Speech Coalition, a Canoga Park-based porn industry trade, asked them to shutdown productions until further testing is completed.

"Until we know for sure, we've asked the industry to have a moratorium on production," the Los Angeles Times quoted Diane Duke, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, as saying.

Some company officials, including those at well-known studios such as Hustler Video and Evil Angel, have agreed to the temporary shutdown, Duke said.

Her group has notified actors known to have performed with the potentially infected person so they could get tested.

"Retesting and confirmation is underway as is the process of identifying and testing first- and second-generation partners," she said, referring to those who had sex with the person or with one of that person's sex partners.
