The one thing that the testing does not cover though is the incubation period for HIV before it becomes detectable. It can, IIRC, take 6~12 months to appear as a positive even though it is in your body (can anyone correct me here?). So this does not really close the loop in terms of risk.

Personally, I wouldnt have thought there would be any dirty smack heads in the adult business, but there again, who knows. I suppose the partners of the adult workers could always be doing that kind of thing
It does make you think about all the other jobs that could be even more dangerous than the adult industry, like the person that actually has to clear the bio-hazard bags away! They obviously where protective gloves & the needles are placed back in wrappers, but at the time of testing, the nurse doesnt know if the needle is infected, so throughout the day, there could be a needle ready to stick into the poor cleanance person
I do not think theincubation period is that long, I thought most can be seen within 3 weeks or so apart from HIV which is a cpl of months
It is a shame that they still havnt found a cure, will they ever?
