Safer sex advocacy

In a 2008 interview with Chicago Pride, Lockhart said he had consented to doing bareback as he was falsely informed he was being "protected" by the producer by the method used of pairing models. He went on to say, then age 21, "Fortunately, I got out of that alive and HIV negative! I am still negative today." In the interview, he also warned other young gay men against unprotected sex. He stated, "there are no guarantees, even with testing" and reiterated that barebacking was risky and stated "the message it sends is not one I want to be a part of anymore". During the interview he stated, "I would like to stand up for young men who are/were put in similar, compromising positions as I was at Cobra Video. I want to take a stand for HIV awareness." He has been a vocal advocate of safer sex and has remained critical of the pornographic industry for its continued release of bareback pornography, which he says sends out the wrong message to young gay men.

During a 2013 interview with Chicago Pride, on being asked if he has kept in contact with any of the other Cobra actors, he replied "No. There were few I was close with – but mostly the civil suit, and the pressure Bryan Kocis put on the other models, not to have anything to do with me and then Bryan's death pretty much put an end of the friendships I'd garnered there. From what I've heard some have moved on nicely enough. Some aren't even alive anymore. I randomly saw one in a San Francisco gym during Pride a few years ago but thought better of stopping him to say hello. It's a chapter of my life I don't like to revel in." He stated in the interview that the trend in the pornographic industry is toward unprotected, unsafe sex. He has warned about the social impact on gay and bisexual men's decision-making, especially when in the heat of lust and passion while influenced by alcohol or drugs.

In 2008, Lockhart received Best Twink Performer – Bottom at the Golden Dickie Awards, was winner of GayVN Awards for Fuck Me Raw (2006); 2009 Best Bottom, 2009 Best Pro/Am Film for Summit (2008); 2009 Best Twink Film for Just the Sex 1 & 2 (2008); 2010 Best Bottom, 2010 Web Performer of the Year, and 2010 Best Amateur / Pro-Am Release for the Big Easy (2010).
