From 2008-2010, Snow Bunni (real name: Justin) was a porn performer with the company Flavaworks, which specializes in racially offensive “ethnic” porn and appeared in movies like Thug Boy Volume 8 and Swaggers 2: Dickin’ Down Deep.

Now, he is living in his hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas and managing a local restaurant.

Late last year after porn blog The Luckey Star did a “where are they now?” post on Justin, he reached out to them and asked to share a video with the sobering news he’d just received: that not only was he HIV-positive, but had full-blown AIDS.

The video is a shocking and sobering look into an image of HIV/AIDS that we don’t see very much anymore as well as a peek behind the curtain into some of the darker aspects of the porn industry and the lives that some of the performers live.

It took a lot of guts for Justin to do this, and we commend him for sharing his story.
