Last week, porn star James Jamesson posted his HIV test results online after anti-gay online trolls harassing him with claims about his status.
Now another gay porn star, Tristan Baldwin reveals his test results that he’s HIV Negative via Twitter and this blog on responding to the claims another porn actor made about him, several weeks back. Read Tristan Baldwin’s official statement below:
As promised, here are my most recent AIM results, to nullify the absolutely outrageous and embarassing claims that I was HIV positive by an another XXX performer. These claims were made with the intent of ‘de-railing’ my career both in front of the camera, and to the extent that I escort on the side.
It is sad to see that someone would lie about such a serious medical condition, to damage another person’s livelihood and prosperity. But it is even SADDER when the condition they are making fun of / using as a lie, is killing that same person’s fan-base. Again, I’m not mentioning names, because we agreed to let this issue die- but here is the truth in hard evidence, and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for what you said.

jeff from noho says
Unbelieveable. I heard about this situation from menofporn’s blog as well. Rusty Stevens is total filth to make such claims. From what I understand, he robbed Tristan as well.
I’ve read nothing but good reviews on the MuscleService Forums about tristan, and the blogs seem to love him- but ill never buy another Rusty Stevens tape again.
James says
If he’s barebacking, he’s lucky not to have the disease, or any other STD.
jasun mark says
I don’t know the back story but I DO know that Tristan is one of my favorite stars to work with.. ever… he and I have worked together on lots of scenes and he’s not only a fantastic performer, he’s a riot to have around and someone I just like to hang out with.
I really hope that the idiots who believe the garbage posted anonymously about models will finally realize that the internet is for porn.. not made up crap about porn stars.
TH says
Tristan has always behaved with honor and grace. I hope he is able to regain this fun-loving attitude now that these horrendous accusations are behind him.
peter says
i dont get the whole barebacking thing, its not worth the HIV and other diseases you could potentially get, gay or straight intercourse.
besides you can get new sensitive condoms these days. so barebacking is not worth it.
leev says
Rusty is really messed up.
Kyle says
If Tristan wants to bareback then he’s a grown man, an adult and he can do what he wants with his body. I enjoy his bareback porn and hopes he continues. He’s still negative and knows his stars well to stay that way. Condoms are not 100% safe, yet I still play safe. But I stand by everyone is old enough to make decisions for themselves. Do you really think porn-stars care what you think. Yet some of you will bash a porn-star cause they decide to do bareback films. You are no better than the straight people that do gay-bashing. No matter how educational you think porn should be, most of your condom porn-stars are doing more barebacking than those that do on bareback movies. And 1 to 3 years later they end up doing SX Video or Treasure Island. Porn comes with a variety of taste, some you like and others you dislike. Next, no need to go preach about it cause you don’t think it’s right. As far as Rusty goes, this guy seems to be another gay drama queen trying to stir up drama. Yet this guy doesn’t know whether he is gay, bi or gay for pay.
Nobara Jones says
TRistan is amazing, a briliant performer and seems to be a great guy. I have no idea WHAT prompted the tete a tete between Rusty and Tristan on Twitter….but apparently, they made up and I guess you can take back statements like “crack head, thief, and HIV+ slinging”…forgive and forget?
Meanwhile…this trend of posting STD/HIV results….I don’t know how I feel about it.
ALan says
I don’t like this trend of being so emphatic about being negative. It’s really a backhand demonization of those guys who are poz.
I also think that paper proves nothing. The name has been redacted! Idiot. Delete the one thing that proves what you’re saying.
Estelle says
Um Jasun the accusation WASN’T posted anonymously, Rusty Stevens signed his name to the post and even linked his website to it. BTW a lot of what is written about models anonymously is done by fellow performers.
Rusty also slammed Cameron Adams and said he had never met Cameron before. Um Rusty and Cameron did a scene together on the almost defunct butterloads website. That should tell you how much credibility Rusty Stevens has.
To be fair, Tristan did start the shit slinging first but Rusty fought back unarmed.
Kyle says
This is what we call immature and drama queens. Spreading rumors is so high school and kindergarden
Tristan Baldwin says
Alan-
I agree with you wholeheartedly- the best thing for all parties involved would be to produce the test to prove the comments false, and then delete all mention, and drive on. However, we live in a ‘freedom of information’ age- where comments posted on blogs, regardless of their truth or validity- will remain.
Thus, the only permenant course of action to repair someone’s name, is to have the public documentation so people aren’t any less likely to see me/interact with me on the 1 on 1 level.
As far as demonizations go- I’m sorry if it is coming across that way. All I can say to my defense for what I’ve said and done is THIS: a part of my ability to survive and thrive in this world, is interacting with select fans on a 1 on 1, safe level. If this ability didn’t exist; my lifestyle would change dramatically. A perception of illness or risk, associated with me- derails that desire for many fans to connect…so if my very existance is on the line here- don’t you think it was in my best interest to fight back so vehemently and passionately?
As far as the other supporters go on here- thank you for taking note of this and wasting the 2 mins out of your day to read it. As far as Jasun goes- I will always count you as a friend, and you’re one of the most valid opinions I could ever get from the porn industry. You’re a ‘player’ with a chip in the big game, so you know the inner workings- and you have always told me your unbridled opinion, whether it was what I wanted to hear, or even if it were the total opposite. That’s how you know a real friend- they tell you what you might not always want to hear.
As far as barebacking goes- that was in my earlier days, and because of the connotation associated with it, it hasn’t and won’t be in the cards for me in the near future.
Hopefully this is the end of all this nonsense- and yes, TH- this will be the return of the happy, playful Tristan Baldwin…because we all know what a silly fuckin’ clown I can be.
Ed says
Rusty is a douche!
Brad B says
Tristan Baldwin / ARYX Quinn is awesome. Not only an excellent performer but a wonderful guy. Why Rusty Stevens recklessly posted such a dangerous lie, not only about Tristan but dragging Cameron Adams name into it as well is a vile act. Personally I have lost most if not all respect for Rusty Stevens. I hope this proof puts this matter to rest and Rusty can crawl back under some rock. Didn’t the dude retire anyway???
mel says
I have many thoughts about this. I am glad Tristan is being responsible as should ALL sexually active adults. Regardless of gender or sexuall orientation adults engaging in any risky behavior, despite safe sex precautions, should reguraly check their status. It is also upseting to hear another porn actor make potentially libilious comments. When this type of accusation is made in such a open forum it seems more as a vindictive intention rather than any concern. If Rusty really was concerned he probably would just alerted studios in private.
brian says
Was Rusty Stevens who spread this lie? Oh, what a poisonous bitch!!!!
James says
You are talking crap Kyle – “You are no better than the straight people that do gay-bashing.” I think thats total bs. I am against bareback because it spreads HIV, not because I am gay bashing. WTF!
robert says
wow… the best thing i guess is to not buy anything with rusty stevens in it..sounds like

Vince says
Does anyone find it odd that he spent his birthday getting an HIV test?
jonathan says
re: vince, by “funny”, i assume you mean ironic. personally, i find it sad…i wish he’d spent his birthcay with me.
jonathan says
er, birthday
TheInsider says
Sorry, but a paper with the name crossed out proves nothing.
Igour says
These postures, attitude
look like the foreign policy report.
Officials strip naked,make statement nude
in desperate straits, when it is hot.
Jeff says
meaningless
Tristan Baldwin says
For those who take issue with the fact that the name has been ‘redacted’- first, most people don’t know what ‘redacted’ means. So by saying- ‘CROSSED OUT’, I think we can clear this up.
Although the NAME is crossed out, they don’t hand these reports out to just anyone. See who the report was sent directly to, ORDERED BY, and P-A-I-D for, by? It’s there HIGHLIGHTED AT THE TOP, under ‘USERNAME’. As in ‘USERNAME’ at AIM CLINIC, where you are a regular PATIENT and CLIENT.
That USERNAME happens to be tristan@tristanbaldwin.com. Gee Whiz, still doubt it’s me with this test result?
-TB-
Tristan Baldwin says
And no, I didn’t think it was funny that I went and got an AIM test/blood draw done on my birthday- but I had to, to put all these crazy matters to rest.
Now. Let’s put all this behind us- and think positive(in a different use of the word!).
How do you spell/sing “Cuuuummmbyahhh?” With a Q or a C?
BillyZ says
@Tristan: I believe it is actually with a K
@Everyone else: Tristan is one of the best people I know, and it goes beyond his alter egos. Tristan had his name at stake, and it is his livliehood: who wouldn’t fight back so vehemently?
Rocco says
Rusty Stevens Started out in bareback porn at SX as Rusty Stevenson;both he and Tristan barebacked at Jake Cruise!
Is this a poker tell; sounds like Rusty is mad/angry and lashing out. Is he the one that’s poz?

Kyle says
@Tristan, I love your bareback porn, please keep em coming
Tristan Baldwin says
Kyle, sorry to disappoint- but there won’t be any more bareback porn coming out of this corner. Had I known the backlash that would have come about from doing it so many years ago, I would never have done it in the first place.
Is sex better and more sensitive without condoms? Absolutely- but when you never cross paths with the guy you’re shooting a scene with until that day; and 5 hours later he’s winging his way to another set…it puts everything in perspective. Safety first.
wgraceson says
Even though I am not a real fan of Tristan Baldwin; I think it is better to be safe than sorry. Safe sex should always be practiced, especially with so many different partners.
