document: Hustler Fined $ 14G for Not Using Condoms in Porn LOS ANGELES - California workplace safety officials have fined Larry Flynt 's Hustler Video and another porn producer for not using condoms on set to protect sex performers from exposure to disease . Hustler faces $ 14,175 in fines for three violations , including failure to provide condoms or other protective equipment , according to a Division of Occupational Safety and Health citation provided to The Associated Press Wednesday . Hustler '' `` failed to ensure the use of appropriate personal protective equipment , such as condoms '' '' to protect its employees from semen , vaginal excretions and blood in the course of producing adult videos , according to the citation . The current fines are based on the same section of state law that also requires hospitals to provide nurses with protective gear to spare them exposure to blood-borne and fluid-borne illnesses . Flynt has said in the past that audiences do n't want to watch porn in which actors use condoms . Hustler was also fined for failing to maintain a written injury and illness policies and for failing to provide workers with vaccines for hepatitis C. Hustler 's citation stems from a Sept. 14 inspection of a jobs site in response to a complaint from the AIDS Healthcare Foundation , a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that advocates for safe sex in pornography . Forsaken Pictures faces $ 12,150 in fines for similar violations . The fines were issued March 9 . Cal/OSHA Senior Safety Engineer Deborah Gold said the state continually investigates the porn industry , though job sites can be difficult to find , and has cited a handful of producers for violations in recent years . '' `` Clearly if an employee is having unprotected sexual contact with another person then there needs to be either engineering control , like simulation , or people need to use a condom or other barrier , '' '' Gold said . A telephone message seeking comment left by The Associated Press was n't immediately returned by a Hustler representative . Contact information for Forsaken could n't be located . Late last year , a porn actor tested positive for HIV at a California clinic , causing panic among actors . Some San Fernando Valley pornographers in the multibillion-dollar adult entertainment industry shuttered productions as a precaution .
