An actor's positive HIV test has caused two of the US adult film industry's largest studios to postpone filming.
Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment told The Los Angeles Times that production had stopped as a precaution.
The unnamed actor was a member of the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation.
Clinic spokeswoman Jennifer Miller said efforts were being made to notify other performers who may have had sexual contact with the actor.
This is not the first time the billion dollar industry has faced closures.
In 2004, an HIV outbreak spread panic in the industry and briefly shut down productions at several California studios.
Up to 14 people were believed to have been infected during on-camera sex with a male actor.
Last year, a woman tested positive for HIV immediately after making an adult film.
