AIDS/HIV/STD
TESTING

|
THE ADULT INDUSTRY GOT SOME MEDIA COVERAGE WHEN A
PERFORMER BECAME HIV POSITIVE. THE WHOLE INDUSTRY SHUT
DOWN OPERATIONS FOR 3 MONTHS UNTIL EVERYONE WAS RETESTED
AND CLEARED. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT IF YOU CHOSE
TO PERFORM IN ADULT FILMS THAT YOU DO NOT PARTICIPATE
IN HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES, I.E. DRUG USE, SWINGING, ONE-NIGHT
STANDS, OR PROMISCUOUS BEHAVIOR. THIS IS NOW YOUR JOB
AND YOUR PROFESSIONALISM EXPONENTIALLY AFFECTS EVERY
PERSON YOU WORK WITH.

HEALTHCARE is not the only facility to provide testing,
but they are the most "production-friendly"
clinic. WIth a urine sample and blood test, utilizing
a nucleic acid amplification technique (Polymerase Chain
Reaction) and nucleic acid hybridization for the detection
of HIV-1 DNA in leukocyte preps, they can have results
within 24-48 hours. Also included are tests for Chlamydia
and Gonorrhea. This non-profit clinic is run by a former
adult performer, Dr. Sharon Mitchell. They provide speedy
results and friendly staff who will fax on demand the
results at no additional charge. The cost of the lab work
is $110. They accept cash or credit only. No checks. |

the health and safety of you and everyone in the business.
question any bumps or scars which are suspicious. Psoriasis
is not contagious, but herpes is. If you are on set and
notice something on your partner, report it to the director
or PA. No one can blame you for wanting to have something
that does not look quite right checked out. Never ever
have sex with anyone with thick white discharge; using
an expired test, or is lacking a test altogether. This
is not only your livelihood; it is your LIFE in the line. |
