Cameron Bay (porn actress)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cameron Bay (born October 22, 1984 in Orange County , California ) is an American porn actress . She made her HIV infection, which became known in 2013, known beyond the industry . The discovery of the infection led to a week-long production moratorium in the Los Angeles area of ​​porn in August 2013.

Life

From 2007 to 2008, Cameron Bay was served a year and a half prison sentence in Arizona . After her imprisonment, Bay first appeared with her then partner in 2009 on VH1's Tool Academy , a reality show in which unadjusted partners are to be converted into suitable people. However, the two were voted out in the first round.

Career in the porn industry

From 2010 she started making porn films. She appeared next to the pseudonym Cameron Bay under the names Ashton , Cameron Lane and Ryder . In her first appearance, she was seen in a group sex scene. After filming, she suffered from kidney infection . Cameron Bay made a total of nine pornographic films. She has appeared in productions for Hustler , Zero Tolerance , 21Sextury and Kink.com . Anal sex and BDSM practices were only seen in a production for Kink.com.

HIV infection

In August 2013 it was announced that an HIV test by Cameron Bay had been positive. The discovery shocked the American porn industry and temporarily brought production to a standstill. This moratorium was lifted after a week after Cameron's shooting partners had also been tested for HIV. Shortly afterwards, however, the HIV infection of other porn actors became known, and there was another moratorium. In September 2013, three more HIV infections were discovered by porn actors, including that of partner Cameron Bay's Rod Daily .

With no health insurances , unions or other social security institutions being common in the porn industry , the sudden end of her porn career put Bay in a difficult position. On September 11th, XBIZ announced that a donation account had been set up for Cameron Bay to help meet the costs of her illness.

After her career ended, Cameron criticized the lack of awareness of HIV and AIDS in the American porn industry. She called for the use of condoms to be a real and possible alternative in the future , and criticized the monthly HIV test required in the industry as inadequate.

Effects of becoming aware of HIV infection

The discovery of Cameron Bay's HIV infection led to public health and safety investigations in one of the porn studios Bay was filming. The Cameron Bay case poses a significant problem for the American porn industry. A referendum in Los Angeles County led to the introduction of a condom mandatory in porno film productions which is fought by porn producers. The discovery of HIV infection cases in porn actors is therefore a setback in this matter. In addition, the member Isadore Hall brought a bill in the Californian parliament, which should introduce condoms in the entire state of California .
