Biography

David Zuloaga was born in Los Angeles, California, but raised in Mendoza, Argentina by his evangelical parents from the age of two. At the age of 14, he saw his first pornographic film starring Peter North which sparked his ambition to become a porn star.[2] Palmer left home at sixteen for Brazil, then a year later to Europe where he had his first gay sexual experience with a friend. During this period he worked in Amsterdam as a male prostitute at the Blue Boy club.[3] At the age of 19 Palmer moved to Miami, and a year later debuted in his seminal pornographic film for Falcon Studios.[4] Palmer performed exclusively for Falcon Studios before leaving in 1999. In 2001 Palmer made a porn comeback in the Pacific Sun Entertainment production Palmer's Lust. Palmer was well known for his large penis, which is uncircumcised and measures 7.5 inches (19 cm). His erect penis was molded and sold as a sex toy.[5]

After being diagnosed with HIV in 1997, Palmer used antiretroviral drugs over a period of four years.[6][7] According to Palmer, after the September 11th attacks he began to investigate AIDS denialist sites on the internet and became convinced that HIV and AIDS are fraudulent conspiracy theories concocted by the United States government.[4][8] The following year Palmer would sign with Hot Desert Knights to star in his first condomless, or "bareback" film. It featured Palmer's first anally receptive or "bottom" sex scene.[4][8] Despite his previous AIDS diagnosis, Palmer allowed fans to perform oral sex on him during his club appearances and still advocates "bareback" sex.[2][8] On his Web site (www.jeffpalmer.net) there is this statement: "Jeff Palmer does not have hiv, anyone saying otherwise must provide proof, defamation it's a crime."[9]

Palmer moved back to Mendoza, Argentina in October 2009 after years in Portland, Oregon, hosting occasional solo webcam shows for his fans on his website.[4] However, according to the site, he returned to live in Los Angeles in September 2010. He now forswears antiretroviral drugs as he believes they cause AIDS, instead promoting the therapeutic use of cannabis.[10] Palmer has admitted to a crystal meth addiction which he deals with through his belief in Jesus Christ but continues to use the drug.[11]
