LEADING ADULT STUDIO VIVID ENTERTAINMENT TO RESUME PRODUCTION MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8
Vivid Entertainment, the world’s leading adult film studio, is set to resume movie production on Monday November 8th after being shut down for almost a month because of health safety concerns.
Vivid halted production immediately and voluntarily on Tuesday, October 12th after AIM Healthcare announced that an unidentified adult film performer had tested positive for HIV.
“We made the decision to halt production as the health and well-being of our performers is of utmost importance to us,” said Steven Hirsch, founder/co-chairman of Vivid. “We can now confirm that all performers who were on the quarantine list as a result of being exposed to the HIV positive performer have gone through two rounds of testing and the results are negative. We believe that AIM acted professionally and thoroughly and proved that their system works. We will, of course, continue to require recent test results for all performers in our movies and will continue to take all necessary precautions to assure their health and safety.“
Although Vivid did not start any new movies while production was halted, the studio used the time to complete post production work on a backlog of previously produced films.
