Porn star Mr. Marcus admits that might be responsible for the recent STD scare that has closed the porn industry in San Fernando Valley, California and is now apologizing for it.
In a recent interview, the veteran of porn 18 years said he believes he contracted syphilis while on the set of a x-rated video, and admitted even to cover his syphilis-positive test results so that he could continue to play.
Mr. Marcus the Adult Video News (AVN) that the 11 July, he felt sick and went to his personal physician, who performed the tests and the next day said Mr. Marcus that he tested positive for syphilis. The next day, he was given a penicillin shot and told to abstain from sex.
"My personal doctor doesn't know what to do for a living," said Mr. Marcus. "So his thing was just not have any sex for 7-10 days. Once I made that shot I was feeling pretty confident. Each doctor has spoken up to that point he said, ' you get the shot. Thats it. ' "
Mr. Marcus returned to work and shot a sex scene 11 days later, on 24 July, although subsequent tests have shown that syphilis was still in his system. He says that the manufacturer of that particular shoot just asked to see the "evidence" of a test, rather than a full copy paper/digital.
Taking advantage of the situation, Mr. Marcus says he showed the manufacturer with a copy of the results on your mobile, but admits to hide the part that showed that has tested positive for syphilis.

Mr. Marcus said he has altered only the test because his doctor told him that he would not contagious 10 days after shooting the penicillin.
"I have to live with this, no one else does," he said. "I am very sorry. I didn't think this would come out like this. "
What is truly shocking about all this, is that even though he admits to having sex with the executors, while had an STD, Mr. Marcus I honestly don't think that he did nothing wrong.
"I do not feel that it was a mistake," he said. "I was treated. It allowed me the medication to take effect, and I wanted to proceed as normal. I wanted to go back to work as usual. "
