Jessica Dee's agent has confirmed that the Czech performer is the third victim of the current HIV outbreak. Dee worked with Darren James, the veteran performer believed to have originated the outbreak, on March 24, the same day that James worked with Lara Roxx, the first woman to test positive in the current outbreak.
AIM Healthcare Foundation (AIM) declined to identify Dee when they announced earlier today that they another performer had tested positive for HIV, citing legalities of disclosing such information.
However, Dee and those close to her knew yesterday that she had tested positive, and once AIM confirmed the results today, word quickly spread as to who the new HIV-positive performer was.
Dick Nasty, Dee's agent, told AVN.com that Dee was "in hysterics," and was expected to return to the Czech Republic in the near future.
"What can you say, it's such a shame. We all knew it was possible and so did she, but that doesn't make it any easier," Nasty said.
Dee, 26-years-old and a 5-year veteran of the adult industry, had worked with only five men during the time between her scene with James and when her quarantine began.
Both members of James’ first- and second-generation lists were quarantined on April 13, when it was announced that James was HIV-positive. Dee’s first-generation were already on James’ second-generation list, thus they were already quarantined.
Dee’s first-generation list, with the date she worked with each performer in parentheses following each name, includes: Sean Michaels (4/07), Julian St. Jox (4/07), Mark Last (4/10), Brock (4/10), and Carlos Mendes (4/12).
Lara Roxx, from Montreal, was the first member of James’ first-generation list to be diagnosed as HIV-positive. Her name was released upon her diagnosis because her other partners were not known at that time.
"This is a testimony to the containment system because for the first time in AIM's history we do not and will not [disclose the identity of the HIV-positive performer]," AIM's executive director Sharon Mitchell, PhD, told AVN.com. "We don't expect there to be a second-generation in her case, because everyone has been placed in quarantine for 60 days.
Sources inform AVN.com that Bianca Biaggi has been identified as the Brazilian native that Darren James is believed to have caught the HIV virus from.
