It called for an industrywide moratorium on Sunday.The  performer received a preliminary positive result for HIV, the virus  that causes AIDS, at a health facility outside of California. The San  Fernando Valley suburb of Los Angeles has long been a leading hub of the  porn industry.Further diagnostic testing was needed to confirm the performer was HIV positive, the trade group said.Diane  Duke, executive director of the trade group, said she believed porn  productions had largely been shut down nationally as a result of the  moratorium, and that she was unaware of any companies that were refusing  to comply."The industry has had a successful system of health and safety self-<a href="http://www.reuters.com/finance/deals/regulatory" target="_blank">regulation</a> since 1998, despite any misinformation being spread by our opponents," the Free Speech Coalition said in a statement.In  2010, another porn performer, Derrick Burts, tested positive for HIV,  which also prompted a temporary shutdown of porn productions.A  number of other porn stars have been infected with HIV over the years,  said Brian Chase, assistant general counsel for the AIDS Healthcare  Foundation, which was organizing a petition drive for a Los Angeles  municipal ballot initiative to require porn performers in the city to  wear condoms on set.Supporters said local authorities were best suited to enforce such a measure.California  law and federal workplace safety rules require the use of condoms for  porn stars exchanging bodily fluids through sex, but the industry has  largely ignored those mandates, Chase said.Porn  companies have resisted efforts to compel condom usage by arguing it  would force productions to go underground or outside the United States,  increasing health risks.The porn  industry continues to operate in a legal gray zone, Chase said. "When  you've got a situation like that, you've got a lot of industry  participants who feel they don't need to follow the law," he said.Until  recently, many porn performers had been regularly tested for HIV at a  private clinic in Los Angeles run by a private outfit called AIM Medical  Associates. But the clinic closed in May as it filed for bankruptcy and  dealt with lawsuits against it.Since  the closure, the Free Speech Coalition has developed a health and  safety program to take its place, and it was in the process of signing  up performers, producers and agents to participate, the trade group  said.<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/31/us-porn-hiv-idUSTRE77U01520110831" target="_blank">http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/31/us-porn-hiv-idUSTRE77U01520110831</a></blockquote>
