Should/Shouldn't the porn industry force their workers to be protected?

People do not take the porn industry serious or they look down upon the individuals that take part in it.  However, people do no realize that this is a multi-billion dollar industry that has been around for several years and will not leave any time soon.  The poor industry brings in a large amount of revenue for the economy, which is one reason it will not go away.  This industry is a very dangerous job to obtain.  The risk for diseases and STDs are higher in the porn industry because of the lack of unprotected sex just for more viewers.  When these actors do get diseases, they still need to be treated like normal individuals with respect and care.  With the closing of the LA clinic due to improper care, this may raise more cases of STDs and infections in that area.  I feel like two things should happen, clinics with highly trained and devoted doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses should be built in areas where porn is being produced to ensure proper care and reduce the possible spread of disease.  If this cannot be done, I feel like the porn industry managers should at least enforce a rule about these actors wearing condoms during all taping to reduce infectious diseases spreading.  By the managers doing so, would show the actors that they do not only care about the money, but they care about their employees lives as well.
