Sydney Leathers Might Have Come In Contact With HIV Virus During Porn Shoot
In the wake of the news that porn production was shut down following a performer testing positive for HIV, word has come out that Sydney Leathers—the 23-year-old who sexted with former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner—may have been exposed to the virus after shooting her first scene ever.
Gawker reports that Leathers shot her scene with porn actor Xander Corvus for a movie that riffed on her relationship with Weiner (natch). Corvus had most recently performed with Cameron Bay, the woman responsible for yesterday's industry shut-down.
Corvus and Bay performed together in a scene for Kink.com's Public Disgrace series, in which they had unprotected sex. Corvus and Leathers had unprotected sex as well, in the weeks following his scene with Bay.
According to AVN, Bay got the notification about her potential HIV status on Tuesday. They wrote:
This morning, Bay was contacted by the Los Angeles County Department of Health to inquire about her recent sexual contacts, but received no indication that a detection of HIV had occured. Then this afternoon, CET's Dr. Peter Miao called her to inform her that there was a possible HIV detection from her blood sample drawn Tuesday. Bay stressed that this test result could be a false positive and that no conclusive determination about her status should be made until results are in from confirmatory retests already in progress...
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
