Just my opinion.

I dont know of anyone who thinks condom use would displace testing.
My research on this topic has led me to the conclusion that there really is an incidence rate of STDs in this industry that is FAR TOO HIGH.
Every study indicates this and yet nobody who says otherwise can site or is willing to fund a study to indicate that it isnt.
All differences aside this is going to bury us....we HAVE to figure a way to get this under control
I was appalled to learn that performers self medicate prior to testing, that they visit non industry clinics when they think they have an std between tests, they get treated at these non industry clinics and continue to work on the industry clinic test.
They make runs to TJ to stock up on Z-Packs and other antibiotics and resell them to performers for the above self medication.
and I was told this by performers who actually do it...and they say it is very widespread.
I dont care what side of this you are on this is going to really harm this biz we have got to address this.
