Lara Roxxx, the adult performer who tested HIV positive on April 15, is planning to sue American producers for "several million dollars," according to an online report from the Canada-based news agency Quebecor Media/Canoe.
Roxxx, a native of Montreal, claims the producers were "not employing all the methods available" to protect her from contracting the virus, the report says.
It is unclear from the report, which originates in French, which producers Roxxx is intending to sue. Both Roxxx and her attorney, Daniel Lighter, did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the 21-year-old performer was briefly profiled on Entertainment Tonight Tuesday.
ET reporter Jann Carl interviewed Roxxx in the studio, where she calmly discussed her thoughts on doing porn and becoming infected with the virus.
Roxxx said getting HIV "makes you realize how fragile life really is."
During the two-minute segment, Carl asked Roxxx was it worth it?
"No," she responded. "I have a disease in my body now because of it."
Roxxx said that during her teenage years her parents fought and eventually divorced and her decision to do porn was partially in reaction to her parents.
"I was just pretending to be happy about it," Roxxx told Carl. "I thought $2,000 a day sounded attractive. I expected that I could go and sleep with whoever I wanted and I thought that the actresses ruled."
ET reported that Roxxx is currently living with her mother outside of Montreal and that she is "worried that she'll be kicked out." The show said Roxxx is interested in a career in fashion design.
Roxxx contracted the virus from Darren James after performing in a double anal scene with he and Mark Anthony on March 24. She had just started performing in U.S. video productions in February after being primarily an Internet performer.
Roxxx said she worries about "dying too early, too soon, too young."
She is also planning to start a charity foundation to help those infected with HIV.
AVN.com will update this story with comments from Roxxx and her attorney.
