Soon his career began to fade, though his drug habit continued, and late in 1990 he tested as HIV positive. (Significantly, Iacono almost always played the 'bottom' role in these scenes, making him unique in a genre filled with performers who would only play 'tops.') He did not handle his finances well, however, and had no long-range plans to manage his career, usually being content to accept whatever was offered to him. Standing 5' 11' and weighing 165 pounds, his good looks and pleasing physique soon made him a porn star under the name 'Joey Stefano.' By some accounts he earned $100,000 in the year 1990, making as much as $1500 for a single sex scene. At age 15 he dropped out of high school - at about the same time his father died - and began to experiment with drugs as well as engage in 'street hustling.' In 1989, at the age of 21, he moved to Los Angeles and quickly became involved in the rapidly-expanding world of gay videos.
