Veteran Porn Actor Says He’s Patient Zero in Syphilis Outbreak
LOS ANGELES — A porn actor, who works under the name Mr. Marcus, is claiming he is the one behind the recent syphilis scare that shut down the industry.
The veteran actor told Adult Video News: “So now we’re dealing with [syphilis] in our industry, and I’m the guy. I didn’t want to be the guy, but I’m the guy.”
Mr. Marcus says he believes he contracted the STD on set but admits that he altered his syphilis-positive test so that he could keep performing.
His altered test was what started the scare and initiated the industry’s self-imposed 10-day moratorium while actors are tested and treated for syphilis.
The porn actor was diagnosed with syphilis on July 12, received a penicillin shot on July 13 and returned to work 11 days later, on July 24, AVN reports. However, he still had the disease.
Perhaps most disturbing, according to the Huffington Post, the producer of the shoot didn’t ask for a paper or digital copy of Marcus’ STD test.
Instead, the actor showed a copy of the test on his cell phone so that the syphilis portion wasn’t visible.

Gosh. Remember when people were PROUD because they graduated with honors? Or PROUD because they opened their very own business?
Now we’re PROUD because we don’t know who the baby-daddy is or because we started a syphilis outbreak.
Take a bow, Obama voters. You just took us down a few more notches.

And just why should he have to show his STD test? What, you can’t take his word for it because he’s a BLACK MAN who’s been held down by the white man’s system?
Ever hear of the CIA? Who do you cracka’s think infected him? And now you want to take his job so a white man can take his place?
This is EXACTLY why blacks could NEVER vote for a Republican!

Would this a$$hole act any differently if it was HIV he had rather than syphilis? Don’t think so.

Ummmmm….it’s the porn “industry”. Did we expect anything less from people who view sex as a sport. People who view women as playthings and women who view themselves even lower.
Freedom without moral restraints is anarchy. This is what rejecting God has done to us……
