If you're grossed out by urine on-set then you're obviously not a producer. I've had to deal with EVERY single body fluid on-set and urine is the least of my worries. It's not like we're dealing with needles and blood.
BTW, testing isn't for prevention, it's for containment. The ONLY prevention would be testing everyone before every shoot which obviously isn't practical.
For example: Someone can get tested on day 1 and on day 2 unknowingly contracts HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis, etc but they are cleared for the next 12 days.

Yeah, sorry, I missed the part about the conjunction with the full panel blood testing, but still I wouldn't want to touch actors' urine. I do shoot porn and that's the point, this is a job for lab technicians, not for producers. LOL. I just find it disgusting to handle someone else's piss or any other bodily fluids, especially males... (will leave that for CurrentlySober
)
Doing any testing on set is pain in the ass. I used to do HIV testing (saliva tests) and Syphilis blood tests (capillary blood) and also urine drug tests. It was slow, time consuming, messy and tiresome. And ultimately it also cost more than a proper lab test. These are all home test kits for individuals, not for testing on porn shoots.

Well, that's one of the occupational risks and the actors are aware of that. If they are afraid, they should choose a different job. It's their responsibility, not mine.
