Not Again! Jake Cruise Pairs HIV+/- Models In Bareback Scene—Where’s Cal/OSHA?
He already did it at least once (that we know of) when he filmed Charlie Harding and Mike Dozer’s bareback scene, and now Jake Cruise is at it again! This week, the owner of JakeCruise.com and CocksureMen.com openly thumbed his nose at California’s labor and workplace safety organization Cal/OSHA by producing another bareback scene with serodiscordant performers Charlie Harding and Scotty Rage.
Harding attributes being HIV-negative to the wonders of Truvada, while real-life partner Rage is openly HIV-positive, and the couple gave a candid interview about their mixed status relationship to Manhattan Digest last year. Obviously, they filmed their bareback scene for Jake Cruise knowing each other’s status, and even more obviously, there’s nothing wrong with an HIV+/- couple who choose to have bareback sex in their personal lives. But, what about when it comes to the workplace? How can Jake Cruise brazenly produce bareback sex with serodiscordant couples without being fined and/or shut down? Where is Cal/OSHA?
Why are Kink and Treasure Island Media big Cal/OSHA targets, but Jake Cruise isn’t? Shouldn’t Jake Cruise be fined for “failure to establish exposure control plan re: exposure to OPIM [other potentially infectious material] under §5193(c)(1) of the California Health Code,” just like TIM and Kink were? Why does he get a pass while others don’t? And what about all the California bareback gay porn studios that test their performers for STDs—do they get a pass because their models test negative for STDs, or should Cal/OSHA hold them accountable, too? Where’s the consistency? And who gets to define what’s “potentially infectious” if both performers are already positive?
