Lara Roxx (born June 5, 1982, in Laval, Quebec, Canada) is a former pornographic actress renowned for her tragic entry into the adult industry. At 21, she moved to Los Angeles in early 2004 to pursue a career, filming her debut scenes including a double anal. In March 2004, during a gonzo scene with Darren James, she contracted HIV, becoming the first of three performers infected by him in four years. Roxx had relied on the industry's testing standards, later criticizing them as unreliable. The scandal led to her and James being banned from U.S. productions and ignited debates on safety protocols. The 2011 documentary 'Inside Lara Roxx' by Mia Donovan follows her journey from psychiatric ward recovery to rebuilding her life post-diagnosis. Her story underscores the perils of unregulated adult filmmaking.
