COVID-19 testing should be MANDATORY for male pornstars because the Coronavirus has been found in men’s semen – both those fully infected with COVID-19 AND those in recovery.

PNT LIVE commentary: It was just April 19th, 2020 that Porn News Today posted about the mainstream media’s reports in regards to the Coronavirus residing heavily within male’s testes

As of today – nearly every mainstream media outlet has reported that the COVID-19 not only has been found within the semen of those infected with the Coronavirus, but it also REMAINS within the semen of men RECOVERING from the virus.

As the Porn News Today collective has suggested in the past – it is imperative that the Free Speech Coalition PASS network add COVID-19 testing (when available) to the performer STD testing panel to prevent the adult entertainment industry from potentially becoming Coronavirus GROUND ZERO. In addition the voluntary FSC adult content production halt should not be lifted until COVID-19 testing is fully available to BOTH performers and the general public (considering that so many performers engage in sexual intercourse with the general public regularly within their 14 day testing windows).

The new coronavirus can persist in men’s semen even after they have begun to recover, a finding that raises the possibility the virus could be sexually transmitted, Chinese researchers said Thursday.

A team at Shangqiu Municipal Hospital tested 38 male patients treated there at the height of the pandemic in China, in January and February.
About 16% of them had evidence of the coronavirus in their semen, the team reported in the journal JAMA Network Open. About a quarter of them were in the acute stage of infection and nearly 9% of them were recovering, the team reported.
“We found that SARS-CoV-2 can be present in the semen of patients with COVID-19, and SARS-CoV-2 may still be detected in the semen of recovering patients,” Diangeng Li of Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital in Beijing and colleagues wrote.
“Even if the virus cannot replicate in the male reproductive system, it may persist, possibly resulting from the privileged immunity of testes,” the team added. Privileged immunity means the immune system cannot fully reach the region to attack viral invaders.
It’s not a surprising finding. Many viruses can live in the male reproductive tract. Ebola and Zika virus were both found to spread in semen, sometimes months after a male patient had recovered.
