Two prominent gay porn blogs, and, reacted negatively to the outing of Wyler’s HIV-positive status. As evidence, the post cites an alleged profile of Wyler on the gay personals site Adam4Adam that lists his HIV status as negative. The gist of the post is Wyler allegedly was behaving irresponsibly as a person living with HIV, so the site was taking matters into its own hands to stop him from harming others. It appears it was the outing that pushed Wyler to self disclose. It wasn’t obvious to me exactly what Wyler was referring to about rumors, but then I ran across this post at the LGBT blog Queerty and it explained quite a bit.Īccording to Queerty, Wyler’s self disclosure of his HIV-positive status came only after several preceding events, including speculation as to why he had decided in July to switch to masturbation-only work, followed by a former roommate (also a porn star) alleging on a blog and tweeting that Wyler was “spreading disease,” followed by a post on August 19 on the gay porn blog (site NSFW) outing Wyler as HIV positive. So to the people who are spreading rumors that I have done otherwise, STOP.” I have not gone around f**king, barebacking, or infecting HIV negative people. “Since testing positive in May, I have hooked up with a total of three people and they were all HIV positive themselves. Wyler felt obliged to write another post on August 20: “I spent the last few months waiting for the right time to tell you but it turns out that there is no right time…people have already begun to talk so I might as well just tell you now. Here’s an excerpt of his blog post on August 19:
The pay porn site (site NSFW) is dedicated to his work and (site NSFW) is his personal blog. That fact alone is enough to elicit my sympathy, but it’s the circumstances of his disclosure that disturb me the most.įor the uninitiated (and I have to confess, I was until I was told about his disclosure), Wyler is a sexy 20-something self-described “ gay sex addict” (site NSFW, in other words not suitable for work) working in the porn industry since 2005.īy all outward appearances, he seems to be successful at his chosen profession. Mason Wyler, a gay porn star, recently revealed on his blog that he is HIV positive.
