Tony Montana \nSHERMAN OAKS, CA - Veteran adult actor Tony Montana's comeback has hit a very severe roadblock: he has tested positive for HIV, says the Adult Industry Medical HealthCare Foundation.
And, the foundation adds, three stars who have worked with him recently are under temporary work quarantine, suspected of possibly having been exposed directly to the virus. Those three include Sabrina Johnson, the striking brunette who just made the rounds at ia2000 in Miami Beach and the East Coast Video Show promoting her forthcoming, live-on-the-Internet Gang Bang 2000, scheduled for New Year's Eve.
Montana, who returned to adult filmmaking recently following a long layoff, is said to have tested positive for HIV Oct. 7.
"May I start by applauding Mr. Montana for his courage to come forth with his list, the many companies who helped us fill in the missing pieces of this list in particular, the editors and directors at Leisure Time Entertainment, Sin City, and New Century Cinema, for scanning footage so quickly, and of course my co-workers at AIM HealthCare," says spokeswoman Sharon Mitchell.
In addition to Sabrina Johnson, Obsession and Aurora have also been quarantined from work, says Mitchell in a statement. They were each tested last for HIV during September. Aurora is suspected to have been exposed Sept. 16; Johnson, Sept. 3; and, Obsession, Aug. 14.
A call to Fleshtone Productions, the Oceanside, CA group who are producing Johnson's Gangbang 2000 got no answer.
Mitchell is urging anyone who has worked with these actors and fears being a "second-generation" risk to count 21 days from when they worked with them last, come in to AIM for testing, and "in the meantime, either don't work or use condoms and chemical barrier protection.
"Be sure to notify your partners if you do elect to work," she adds.
