L.T. Turner, a male performer on the second-generation list, has broken the quarantine. Turner claims that he did not break the quarantine, but that he was released from it with approval from the AIM Healthcare Foundation.
Turner worked with Jocelyn on March 24. Jocelyn had worked with Darren James on March 19. Thirty days after Jocelyn’s scene with James, she still had negative HIV test results.
But Jocelyn won’t be clear until at least May 19, and Turner won’t be clear until Jocelyn is.
Turner first claimed that Dr. York cleared him from the quarantine. Informed that Dr. York was no longer with AIM Healthcare Foundation, Turner then said that AIM’s executive director Sharon Mitchell had cleared him.
Mitchell told AVN.com last night that she had not cleared anyone from the quarantine, including Turner. “Sure, he’s probably at a very low risk, I don’t think he is going to have any problems, but no one has been cleared yet,” Mitchell said.
“Until Jocelyn has passed the second thirty day window, he’s not clear. That’s all there is to it,” Mitchell added.
This morning Turner still disputed that he was quarantined. When told about Mitchell’s statements last night, Turner stated that he had talked to Mitchell yesterday as well, and that she had cleared him.
“Well she told that to me, you can say what you want to. I wouldn’t put anybody’s life at risk. What does Alicia say? I tested negative already four times,” Turner said.
“And I talked to her in person. I was there talking to her face to face,” Turner added.
And Mitchell believes that may be where the confusion comes from. “People are down here all the time, and everything is so hectic around here that maybe he thought I was clearing him by saying, sure you’re probably fine.”
"If he wants to hear that he is clear, that's what he is going to hear," Mitchell said.
Nicole Brazelle, who was removed from quarantine after she recanted her story of working with another male talent on the quarantine list, is the only person that Turner is known to have worked with, though Turner has indicated to AVN.com that there have been other women and that there may be even more women.
“You are not a doctor, so you can’t tell me what to do,” Turner said, denying that he was quarantined this morning.
It should be noted that Turner did wear a condom in his scene with Brazelle.
And Mitchell acknowledges that there is nobody that can make Turner abide by the quarantine.
“Here’s what happens with a lot of people, we get to the thirty day mark and they start wanting to work,” Mitchell said. “The quarantine is for sixty days, because the percentages are extremely small after thirty days, but there is a small chance. We want no chance.
“I am not the police, I can not prevent him from working, but if he chooses to do so, it is at his own risk,” Mitchell added.
But Turner is quarantined.
