Former Thug Porn Model Snow Bunni Makes Video From Hospital About His AIDS

Fans of ethnic porn (yes I know that term is offensive but it’s still the accepted nomenclature in the industry and it’s still a category at the Grabbys!) may recognize Flava Works model Snow Bunni, who appeared in such classics as Thug Boy Vol. 8 and Dorm Life 15. Now he has AIDS.

Queerty alerts us to his predicament after he posted a sad and sobering YouTube video from a hospital bed, discussing how he is HIV positive and ended up with, as they say, full-blown AIDS, and hospitalized.

Snow Bunni, a.k.a. Justin, appeared in a number of Flava Works titles between 2008 and 2010, most of which appear to be condom-only. Below, a few of his favorite poses. I think he’s a bottom. Don’t quote me.

The video was made in December but just released this week via this site, which did a “Where are they now?”-type post around that same time, featuring Snow Bunni.

This was answer, as to where he was, and it’s meant to be a cautionary tale about not having unsafe sex.

“I just want to be the first [?] to say to those young up and coming homosexuals that think that being gay is all about the party and all about having fun and the next… sexy person. It’s not all good. Not everything that looks great is good at all. It only takes one time, and then you end up here… I’m not gonna lie and say I’m not scared… I am… I hope that young gay individuals take this and they really think about it and protect themselves… Not necessarily live a boring life… have fun. But be cautious and be mindful, because if you don’t take care of yourself you could end up like this.”

The other message ought to be “Get Tested… Often,” but he leaves that part out.

  2. loved him as a twink pornstar, i wish him all the best and lots of luck with his treatment, hopefully he pulls through and finds love, peace and calm

  3. loved him as a cute bottom boy, great kisser too, so sad but hey let’s pray and hope he conquers it all and has a good and happy future in front of him. I wish him well, i do not wish well to the producers who are so reckless with young and willing Bottoms, they deserve punishment not this young kid.

  4. Okay. Now that we’ve been smacked back to reality about the reality of non-monogamous bareback sex, can we get back to wearing condoms please? Fucking use your brains people. Older gay men have lived through the aids crisis of the 80s and 90s and entire neighborhoods that were devastated by HIV/Aids. They have totally failed to inform and care for the younger generation who haven’t seen the horrors of the disease that today’s meds only suppress, often only temporarily, until the disease ravages the body. There still is no cure, as this unfortunate man is realizing now.

    Oh, and fuck you Treasure Island Media, fuck you Michael Lukas, fuck you Sean Cody and all the other disgusting studios that promote and sell BB sex. I hope the money is worth it.

    1. At some point people are going to have to take responsibility for the choices they make and stop pointing the finger. Sean Cody has a strict screening process and all models are tested for HIV and other STD’s. They’re doing their part. It’s not their fault if someone else doesn’t do theirs. We each have our own responsibility to get tested and be responsible. In 2014 there’s really no excuse. This isn’t the 1980s.

      1. Yes, but Sean Cody and these other sites that are resorting to bareback in order to make money are still promoting it nonetheless. When horny young guys watch it they want to do it too, without having the advantages of rigorous testing, however accurate all of that testing really is… the studios are totally to blame. They promote bareback sex by showcasing it, plain and simple…

  5. my heart aches when i hear this….such a beautiful young cutie , i loved his movies, free will? Not Always I guess it depends on how strong you are, on what you know, on what you are being told;
    I hope he gets through this, finds love and is able to move on with his life.

  6. My heart truly…truly breaks for him. As gay men we too often throw caution to the wind for some fun times. We as a culture need to pull back a little. Be a people that promote health. Not only physically but emotionally and spiritually. As a HIV positive man I can’t help but wonder how he got to this point. Did he not know his status? Did he not take his medication? Did he live a unhealthy lifestyle? Also God didn’t place this on him. This is a consequence of his own free will. But with those things said I agree it is important to know your status. AIDS is no joke but is completely avoidable if you do the right things. Best of luck to him and his loved ones and I hope he pulls through.

  7. I was a huge fan of his and as a bottom he was stupendous and cute. I was NOT happy that all these flicks were barebacked, he was too young in a way to realize the dangers but his producers KNEW, THEY are to blame. Monogamy is fine and romantic but not a reason not to get hiv, wearing that little plastic when fucking IS. I hope snowbuni gets through this and wish him all the best.

  8. Sad for him. Hope he gets well soon. That’s why I am for monogamous relationship. Even if you are gay dont get wild, dont cheat. Live like a normal one.

    1. LOL So you think being in what you call a “monogamous relationship” is what’s saving you from STDs and HIV? Yeah, keep living in that illusion.

  9. This is so sad and depressing. But thank you for covering the story. Young and paid little money to do acts that were unsafe. It is so disturbing.
