From 2008-2010, Snow Bunni (real name: Justin) was a porn performer with the company Flavaworks, which specializes in racially offensive “ethnic” porn and appeared in movies like Thug Boy Volume 8 and Swaggers 2: Dickin’ Down Deep.
Now, he is living in his hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas and managing a local restaurant.
Late last year after porn blog The Luckey Star did a “where are they now?” post on Justin, he reached out to them and asked to share a video with the sobering news he’d just received: that not only was he HIV-positive, but had full-blown AIDS.
The video is a shocking and sobering look into an image of HIV/AIDS that we don’t see very much anymore as well as a peek behind the curtain into some of the darker aspects of the porn industry and the lives that some of the performers live.
It took a lot of guts for Justin to do this, and we commend him for sharing his story.
Sorry to here about this but stay strong and know you are still loved and keep a positive attitude always, cause you can live for many years to come, if you what you are told to do, I am very proud of you man
ReplyDeleteI hope he pulls through
DeleteOMG Stories like this really break my heart! I always thought after all these years of work in HIV industry I was able to separate my feelings & emotions from job & for the most part I have. Every now & then I come across a story like this and I am affected by it on a deeply emotional level. Why I ask myself? Simply it was avoidable & this did not have to be. When I hear people say things like We are responsible for what we put in our bodies be food drink or even HIV I was once offended by it because it almost sounds like the people are saying you deserve it, but in truth they are not say it is deserved but more so why did you not think about the consequences before doing something you knew would not only affect your life but the lives those who love you. We all have control & the power to make sure we do right by ourselves. When you make the wrong choice & bug(s) gets you don't cry, fight to live. After all you had the knowledge and power to prevent it in the first place. So don't cry! Stand Strong & now use your knowledge & power for the greater good & help prevent the next one from a future you know could have been avoided.
ReplyDeletethe reason you are doing the work you are doing is because you care so the fact that you can't separate doesn't surprise me.
DeleteIIt would be good to be kept informed of this guy's progress. Thank you for posting the video.
ReplyDeleteI will keep you posted with whatever I find
