For those that do not know...
AIM tests performers as often as the performer wants to be tested. Usually the industry demands a test and verifies it on AIM's website which is not older than 30 days.
AIM does blood tests using the RNA method, as far as I know. They take longer to do, but react sooner after infection than anti-body tests. 9-11 days after infection they are positive.
The reason why so many people here complain about gay / straight performers is that with unprotected anal sex infection risk is 1-3% (1.7% one study says), and is the highest risk in sexual transmission. Female to Male transmission via non-anal sex is 0.04% and Male to Female is 0.08%. So anal sex is a LOT riskier (20 times compared to make to female).
But any anal sex in adult obviously is as dangerous. So I do not understand the hate against OC Modeling, makes no sense to me...
The thing I also do not understand is why people are so afraid. AIM acted perfectly as expected. All 1st and 2nd gen performers are quarantined. They will not get tests and so any real studio in the US will not shoot with them. Obviously there might be criminals out there, but then even mandatory condom use will not help since there will be as many criminals there too.
Not a single one of the tests of 1st and 2nd gen have returned positive for now. The system is working perfectly. Sure there is a risk in the industry because of the frequency of tests and the 9-11 days a test returns positive, but the risk is very very small compared to barebacking outside of the industry. Much smaller!
Even with condom use, I _bet_ this outbreak would still have happened, since patient zero obviously infected himself OUTSIDE of the industry...
