HIV/AIDS group going after Florida adult filmmakers

Although local film officials say they know nothing of a pornography business in South Florida, a California HIV/AIDS organization Monday said it is filing complaints with Florida health officials about Miami-made films in which sex actors did not use condoms.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which offers services and a health plan in South Florida, said it had identified 10 DVDs shot at least partly in Miami with no condom use, which it says encourages unsafe sex. Three Miami-based companies were involved, said group President Michael Weinstein, which indicates an adult film business exists here.

The complaints declare the condom-less films to be "sanitary nuisances" that lead to the spread of disease and should be stopped. The Florida Department of Health is looking into the matter, a spokeswoman said.
