AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) announced July 17 that it filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) to require condom use in the production of pornography.  
  
The non-profit organization filed the suit on July 16 in Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles in hopes that the lawsuit could force the county government health agency to take measures to reduce the spreading of HIV among porn actors.  
  
Last month, news media revealed that an actress tested positive for HIV prompting the AHF to urge the Los Angeles County to better monitor HIV and STD prevention in the adult film industry and require condom use.  
  
The Los Angeles Times was cited as reporting that as many as 22 porn performers may have tested positive for HIV in the last five years. The AHF claimed that "no action has been taken by the County to halt the spread of STDs on LA pron sets"
