Porn star Mr. Marcus, the one that superhead gave extreme head to on camera has fessed up to being the culprit behind the recent syphilis outbreak in the industry that has shut down adult filming in Los Angeles once again.

After Mr Marcus contracted the bacterial infection on set, he altered his syphilis-positive test so he could continue performing.

The 18-year veteran actor’s admission came after the industry’s self-imposed 10 day moratorium which has sent more than 1,000 performers in the Los Angeles area to get tested and administered preventative antibiotic.

At least nine porn stars have revealed they have contracted syphilis.

According to XBiz Mr Marcus said: ‘I tried to cover it up…because I said it was like the scarlet letter. It’s the word. Syphilis, whoa.

A doctor told Mr Marcus that he would not be contagious 10 days after taking a shot of penicillin on July 13.

With that diagnosis he returned to work 11 days later, on July 24, still with syphilis.

Instead of presenting a paper or digital copy of the test results he showed the producer a copy on his phone so the details about the infection were not visible.

While filming another porn film, Mr Marcus said he folded the test to hide the syphilis diagnosis and photocopied it but a producer noticed the results were missing and questioned him about it.

He said:

‘I have to live with this, no one else does. ‘I’m very sorry. I did not think that this would come out like this.’

The porn star posted on Twitter yesterday: ‘You can be disappointed, but don’t throw stones. Some of you are living in glass houses.’ (Ninja please our house may be glass but we are not having unprotected sex with people knowing we could infect them with a disease.. )

The actor said that three women he performed with after his diagnosis have all tested negative for syphilis.

Porn star Aletta Ocean, 24, said on Tuesday that she contracted syphilis while shooting movies in Budapest, Hungary.

Her revelation led to speculation that the outbreak of the disease came from Hungary.

According to porn industry blog LukeIsBack.com she tweeted: ‘F****** siphilis problem… In Budapest many people got it..Me too…’

Sex workers are supposed to undergo regular blood tests to ensure they are free of sexually transmitted disease.

It was reported that one of the labs frequented by porn stars does not test for syphilis.

Syphilis is a treatable bacterial infection that can be spread by both bodily fluids and contact with infected skin.

Its causes skin lesions and rashes. If left untreated, it can permanently alter and damage internal organs and brain function.

The number of syphilis cases in California has jumped 18 per cent according to a recent report from the California Department of Public Health.

The results showed a much higher rate of men had contracted the infection and that African Americans were affected more than any other racial demographic.

The outbreak is likely to bolster a ballot issue in November that aims to force all porn performers to wear condoms during pornography shoots.

Condom use has become of political issue in Los Angeles since a 2010 AIDs outbreak.

I think it’s safe to say Mr. Marcus’ time in the porn industry is a WRAP!
