| whooya Deactivated User 33 Posts 10/04 | I'm interested in hearing the opinions of people who work in the industry about what other tests you think should be mandatory for performers in the adult biz? I know you test for hiv, gonnorea, chlamydia and syphillis. Do any of you think there should be more testing, perhaps for herpes, hep c, or anything else? p.s. i manage 3 apartment complexes in van nuys and several of my tenents work in the adult industry. They are always kind and coureous to their neightbors and so far nobody has been late on their rent for the 7 months i've been here. They are generally very nice people. Because i've 'partied' with a few of them, i've gotten to know a little bit about the industry. I find this forum very enlightening and i enjoy the discussions here.

A typical blood test will cover: Hepatitis Core B Protein Antibody, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, and Antibody to Hepatitis C (HCV). |

It is the performers who are at risk and it is the performers who have to set and enforce the the testing policy. I've seen alot of performers talk about increased testing but NOBODY is doing anything about it. Until some leadership among the performers is developed nothing will change. It is your desicion on how often you test. Nobody makes that choice for you. It is your decision on who to work with. Until the talent stand up and speak for themselves nothing will change. Producers care about one thing$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Performers,though they do care about the money, also care about their own health. LIke smokey the bear says "only you can prevent forest fires." Maybe one of bill margolds teddy bears shoud have a logo"only you can go and take and std test any time you want to;" This message goes out to all performers. |
