Porn Industry Lays Out Plans For New STD Testing System For Performers

Denise likes to stretch contraceptives over her head and is her best party trick....

This story is only indirectly related to condoms in the adult film industry.  It concerns testing for STDs, both to keep infected potential performers from ENTERING the talent pool in the first place, and also to monitor and track the health of adult industry performers.

In their effort to play hardball with the adult movie production industry, the cabal that is AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), UCLA, LA County Dept of Health, and Cal-OSHA ran the adult industry's primary health clinic out of business.  

Their intent was and remains to place the industry under tremendous political and economic pressure.  Taking a hard line constitutes a means to extort a “compromise” settlement with the adult industry.

When the rabbit screams the fox comes a-runnin'.  But not to help.  

First they had to squeeze the rabbit.

How interesting that UCLA just opened a new infectious disease rapid testing facility (at a reported cost of $32 million). http://www.scpr.org/news/2011/...

Must just be a coincidence...

The employer shall not permit ejaculation onto the employee’s eyes, skin, or mucous membranes. If work activities may expose the employee’s eyes, skin, or mucous membranes to blood or OPIM—STI , the employer shall provide suitable barrier protection.”“Methods of Compliance.(A) Simulation of sex acts using acting and production and post-production techniques;(B) Ejaculation onto surfaces other than another person’s body;(C) Provision of and required use of condoms or other barrier protection,etc….”These DO NOT represent industry-apropriate regulations, they are industry-killing regulations. They are designed to force the industry to accept whatever terms the cabal, in its beneficence, decides to bestow.Folks, this is ALL about MONEY. Grant money, tax money, contributions, and fees for services.

And it's right up AHF's alley.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

There are 33,300,000 of HIV positive single people worldwide. If you are one of them and you are prepared to become a little brave then You may find that POZmingle. com is just for you. For you will come across new individuals who will certainly become life long friends or Love of life and achieve a degree of self-belief you never would have believed possible.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation obviously has way too much money if they are wasting it on this.

Mr. Romero, you have greatly distorted the new program in this report.

AIM was not an "industry-backed" testing system, it was in independent non-profit entity -- a clinic which did testing and sent the samples to a qualified laboratory -- which was supported by the adult industry. Adult producers provided financial support, and performers and agents/managers paid for the individual tests.  

AIM established and adhered to a testing regimen that was NOT mandatory (as in legally mandatory) but universally observed by the greater LA adult industry, and it maintained the database of results.  However, that is not ALL that AIM was -- AIM was also a community clinic which served anyone who walked in and paid for whatever test(s) they desired.

You neglect to mention that one of the major PR hits that AIM took was centered around the fact that its founder and administrator, Sharon Mitchell, had no medical degree. These critics ignored the fact that the vast majority of medical clinics -- even Planned Parenthood clinics -- do NOT have a medical doctor as their administrators. But why should facts inhibit good PR spin?

You also neglect to mention that the man who is now helping FSC devise the program (presently, as a consultant) is none other than Dr. Gary Richwald, ran LA County’s STD Program for 12 years. The anti-porn cabal of AHF, UCLA, and the LA County Dept. of Health don’t have Sharon Mitchell to kick around anymore.

Sharon Mitchell is in NO WAY involved with this enterprise.

What you also neglect to mention is that FSC is NOT opening a new clinic -- they will be using outside clinics, draw stations and laboratories. -- they are establishing a system of protocols and an interlocking network of components to provide for performer safety -- and in the most medically advanced and secure way possible.

Had someone from LA Weekly bothered to actually attend the press conference yesterday, you might have known all this.

Just let nature run it's course....
