AHF filed additional Notice of Safety or Health Hazards complaints with regulators over the lack of condoms in adult films produced by Vivid.
"We respect the AHF's right to freedom of speech,” Vivid founder Steven Hirsch said.
“We do not, however, agree with their point of view.”
Hirsch said that AIM healthcare has worked well for the company and it will continue to support the clinic.
“Our attorney is part of a committee that is working with Cal/OSHA to come up with a reasonable and responsible solution. When that work is complete, we will act appropriately,” he said.
AIDS Healthcare submitted more than 20 Vivid DVDs, filmed under various company brands in which the performers do not wear condoms to support its current worker safety complaints.
AHF said the films demonstrate unsafe behavior in a workplace, as the sexual acts filmed without the use of condoms depict the unprotected exchange of bodily fluids.
AHF filed similar worker safety complaints with Cal/OSHA in August 2009 against 16 California-based adult film companies, including Vivid and Larry Flynt’s Hustler Video.
To date, Cal/OSHA has opened investigations into three of the complaints and is still evaluating and considering additional investigations.
