A popular porn star is suing the male lead claiming he failed to disclose that he was HIV positive before they shot sex scenes. The woman behind the lawsuit is Katie Summers — real name Katherine Howard — who claims she was paid to appear in the film back in 2009 … and the role involved sexual interaction with X .

In Katie’s lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the porn star claims X had known he was HIV positive since 1997 … but failed to disclose that information before they shot their sex scenes for the movie. Katie claims she didn’t find out about X’s condition until 2012 … 3 years after they shot the movie.

Summers is suing for negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and sexual battery. She’s also suing X’s production company — Evil Angel Productions — which produced the flick. Summers is suing for unspecified damages — and wants a judge to hit Evil Angel with an injunction forbidding the company from continuing to produce movies with X unless it discloses his condition to others. In her suit, Summers does not say if she is HIV positive.
