Highly Offensive Pornographer Paul Morris Has It Partially Right, But VERY Twisted.

To his benefit I might add.

Paul Morris and his company Treasure Island Media have made and/or distributed over 145 controversial porn movies, all of which (I think) center around the exchange of fluids between sexual partners. His most recent film, Viral Load, is reported to feature the exchange of positive semen into negative men, and has some calling to make his films illegal. I have not seen the film, but I have seen and do own some of his earlier work.

Why I Often Say Testing HIV Positive Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me

Recently I was called on the carpet for making statements that seem at odds. I am a staunch advocate for using PrEP, condoms and any other new recourse that can be used to stop the spread of HIV. But in my 1993 one man theatrical show, Finding My Voice On The “F”-Train, and in several blog posts, I have suggested that testing HIV+ was the best thing that ever happened to me — because it gave me the freedom to live my life on my own terms.
