Another L.A. porn star appears to have contracted the virus that causes AIDS. According to the Free Speech Coalition — a business group representing porn movie producers — tweets from an actor pseudonymously known as Rod Daily, in which the actor says he has contracted HIV, appear “authentic.”

If true, it would make Daily the second L.A. porn actor to contract the virus in two weeks after Cameron Bay (also a stage name).

Isadore Hall, a Californian legislator, is attempting to get approval for laws requiring the use of condoms in the making of adult films, something the industry has long resisted.

The Free Speech Coalition has called on Daily’s sexual partners to  come forward and be tested for HIV.
