I see no reason why porn should be exempt, however it should be under the umbrella of requiring a safe working environment. If there is an alternative to condoms that is effective in keeping workers safe, then it should be allowed. If the incident rate of STDs in porn is lower than the general population (and I don't know if it is or isn't), then the requirement for them seems more like a political solution in search of a problem rather than a workers' safety solution.
