LOS ANGELES—Adult industry agent Mark Spiegler has written the letter below to Derrick Burts, who came forward Dec. 7, identifying himself as the HIV+ performer known before only as Patient Zeta.
Burts performed as Cameron Reid in straight films and as Derrick Chambers in gay porn.
There has been much debate and speculation as to how Burts contracted HIV and Spiegler, who runs the boutique agency Spiegler Girls, is prepared to offer Burts $1,000 upon the completion of a lie detector test.
The full text of the letter is reprinted below.
An appeal to Derrick Burts:
It is my opinion, and my opinion only, that Derrick Burts aka Derek Chambers aka Cameron Reid DID NOT contract the HIV virus while shooting a scene for a pornographic movie (gay or straight). In my pursuit of the truth in this case I am will to go so far as to pay for a mutually agreed upon expert to administer a polygraph test to Mr. Burts in order to determine his veracity in this matter.
The examiner would be instructed to only ask Mr. Burts questions relating to his filming pornographic movies – as well as questions regarding whether or not Mr. Burts engaged in escorting (gay or straight). As we all know, Mr. Burts denies ever having been employed as an escort and this will give him the opportunity settle this matter once and for all.
I just want to get to the TRUTH in this matter and, to further this quest for the truth (and in an effort to assist the public and the media in understanding Mr. Burts’ claims), I am also willing to pay Mr. Burts $1,000 in cash upon his completion of the polygraph examination – IRREGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME. Let the chips fall where they may!
Sincerely,
Mark Spiegler
