    HIV and other tests: who should pay?

    who do you feel is financially responsible for the talent getting tested every other week? should the cost burden be on the models or the producer (and therefore indirectly the client)?

    i say it should be on the talent... it's their own "cost of doing biz" just like any other industry that requires workers to have permits, licenses, etc... the good news is the models could deduct the testing expenses from their taxes

    your thoughts?

      They should work out a volume discount deal... it can't really cost the same amount to test someone 4 times in one month as once in one month if you multiply that times soooo many people getting tested.

      I had one at my gyn a few months back, they want you to do it with the yearly exam every year (what a racket), and I don't recall it being that much on the itemized statement, surely it's cheaper in quantity for them to have it done at a non-profit organization - which my gyn is certainly not.

      But all that said, the talent needs to understand the cost of doing business.

              I agree with you it is a part of the costs of doing business. If a girl or guy is under contract however, they should have it included in the contract that the company pays for it.
              Also, if you want to hire a girl that has no money you could pay for the test and deduct it from her pay for the shoot (s).
              No sig, just here to fuck around.

                  absolutely... that's how i pay mine, tho i still report them on my company's tax returns each year as an "independant contractor"

                  now it's the government's problem to collect from them LOL

                      i think talent shoudl pay.....come on, it ain't that much.....there shouldn't be any question about it.

                      at most it might be $200 a month, and that is every 2 weeks

                          when we got tested, we ALWAYS deducted it from taxes...it is a 100% legitimate deduction...shit, that is a $1200, if not more...

                                      I think the producers and companies should pay for it. Jace for example you shot for vivid considering the amount of money they will make on that video they should pay for it. For the companies it should be the cost of doing business. If they can have a fancy booth at a show or throw a huge look how big my dick is party. They can afford a test and I think if companies paid for the test the price would go down dramatically because they would start shopping prices.

                                          Also I think if the companies paid for it , there would be less monkey business. Also people would be tested more often. I think once every 30 days or even two weeks is enough.

                                              In that case, you should only be able to work for Vivid with those test results. If you wanted to work for Anabolic, VCA, Hustler, etc then you should have to use your own money to pay for a test.

                                              Just my thoughts on the matter, this ain't socialism, it's porn.

                                                      Well it should be the talents top priority to get tested regardless of the case [but we all think -- "never me"], however for contract work I really think it should be paid in full by the producer

                                                                  On the otherhand, if a model is exclusive and under contract, a clause shuld be written in stating that certain deductions will be taken out to accomidate the HIV testing.

Its business and if you dont want the government way up your ass ,you take care of it and not depend on someone who couldnt hold a day job . lol If a nonporn company wanted you to take a drug test or any kind of test before they hire you would they pay for it . When I was a independent contractor for a search firm before hiring mefor the project, they sent me for a drug test, evalutions with industrial psychologist. They paid for it all.

Since a company may just do 1 shoot with a girl, they shouldn't be responsible for paying for a test that'll be relevent for her next 4 or 5 shoots with other companies.

                                                                          On the otherhand, if a model is exclusive and under contract, a clause shuld be written in stating that certain deductions will be taken out to accomidate the HIV testing.

Its nonsense every thirty days or two weeks, god knows what they are doing between shoots. This would tighten it up greatly.

The virus doesn't show up until sometimes many weeks after HIV has been contracted. If somebody has it and they are working alot somebody else is surely going to get it. Though more frequent tests would reduce the number of people affected. You can't be running people into AIM to get tested 5 days a week - popular girls work that much, same with guys. I think the hope is these new FDA approved HIV tests, takes 20 minutes - maybe the producers should make each performer take one of those before each shoot.

                                                                                          not sure where I read it but AIM charges more than the test is costs , but AIM in non-profit - the tests should be provided at cost to the porn actors. The porn companies should pay for the costs of maintaining AIM, rent, lab equipment, etc.

Its business and if you dont want the government way up your ass ,you take care of it and not depend on someone who couldnt hold a day job . lol If a nonporn company wanted you to take a drug test or any kind of test before they hire you would they pay for it . When I was a independent contractor for a search firm before hiring mefor the project, they sent me for a drug test, evalutions with industrial psychologist. They paid for it all.
                                                                                                  Nope, I'm not kidding. Why should one company pay for testing for it's performers that are not under exclusive contract and then the same performers go running off and shooting elsewhere on that test? Even if you couldn't bring the physical test with you, it would still stand to reason that you passed if you were doing work for Company A, that you'd be in the clear or they wouldn't use you...

                                                                                                  As for these performers not being able to go two weeks without pay or going under, that's poor management on their part in a large percentage of cases. Alot of these chicks are doing 5 scenes a week at a 1000 a pop in some cases and you are telling me they can't live on 5k a week and pay for a 60 dollar test once a week? Sorry, I'm not buying it.

                                                                                                  It's just one more way for people to avoid responsibility in this industry, and that's a rampant thing as it is. If I tell my power company I can't work unless they pay for an HIV test and therefore can't pay my power bill, they'd turn my lights off for stupidity before the due date.

                                                                                                  This is a business. If you choose to be in this business, you have to understand the risks that go along with being in this business. Just like a producer, director or distributor should be saving money in case there's a knock on the door and they have to pay an attorney for their obscenity defense, the talent should be doing their part too.

As pointed out before why should company X pay for someone's test and then they go the next few days and shoot for company y and company z...

                                                                                                              Actually I think the cost should be covered by the government at the health clinics or somewhere else but since that won't be happening then the models should take it upon themselves to ensure their own safety. Why leave it up to a producer to pay for it who may skimp and say.. "well, we can shoot without it this once".. Once is all it takes to get HIV

Why should one company pay for testing for it's performers that are not under exclusive contract and then the same performers go running off and shooting elsewhere on that test? Even if you couldn't bring the physical test with you, it would still stand to reason that you passed if you were doing work for Company A, that you'd be in the clear or they wouldn't use you...

                                                                                                                  As for these performers not being able to go two weeks without pay or going under, that's poor management on their part in a large percentage of cases. Alot of these chicks are doing 5 scenes a week at a 1000 a pop in some cases and you are telling me they can't live on 5k a week and pay for a 60 dollar test once a week? Sorry, I'm not buying it.

                                                                                                                  It's just one more way for people to avoid responsibility in this industry, and that's a rampant thing as it is. If I tell my power company I can't work unless they pay for an HIV test and therefore can't pay my power bill, they'd turn my lights off for stupidity before the due date.

                                                                                                                  This is a business.

If you sold and consulted to porn performers to make your living instead of the companies that hire them. lol

I started requiring tests every 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks this year, someone tested pos in europe and its the risk of the biz but i want to do anything i can to not only protect but educate these usually young, naive, models. shit - when i was 18 i couldnt find my ass with both hands and a road map so i dont hold it against them that they have bad habits. i certainly had mine at that age.

If a pcr/dna test came in a little box for 5 bucks a pop and you could test all parties involved 30 mins before the shoot that would be great. That's the only answer.
                                                                                                                                                      Being a producer myslef you're lucky if these girls show up at all, let alone on time & with 2 forms of ID. Asking them to show up with proof of an hiv negative test is like asking them to explain string theory.
                                                                                                                                                      IF you told a girl to get an aids test before a shoot about 70% wouldnt bother. Most are in it for a quick buck, aside from the girls who have truly made this their occupation. Waiting for results takes the quick buck mentality away, and you would loose all the amateur models who only do one scene and split.
                                                                                                                                                      We need on site testing at the cost of the Producer. I think the producer should attend some type of medical training class and have some type of certification to administer these tests on location.
                                                                                                                                                      I really think this is the answer. What do you think?

The virus doesn't show up until sometimes many weeks after HIV has been contracted. If somebody has it and they are working alot somebody else is surely going to get it. Though more frequent tests would reduce the number of people affected. You can't be running people into AIM to get tested 5 days a week - popular girls work that much, same with guys. I think the hope is these new FDA approved HIV tests, takes 20 minutes - maybe the producers should make each performer take one of those before each shoot.

                                                                                                                                                          not sure where I read it but AIM charges more than the test is costs , but AIM in non-profit - the tests should be provided at cost to the porn actors. The porn companies should pay for the costs of maintaining AIM, rent, lab equipment, etc.

It said it had just passed FDA approval. Not sure what the name of it is or what company owns it.

                                                                                                                                                                  There is something else called Orasure - Mike South is all excited about it - it's an HIV test u pop in your mouth.

                                                                                                                                                                  If there was a do it yourself HIV test that was pretty reliable and cost say 50 bucks per test some studios might pay for it and require the talent take the test before a shoot but unless it was a law probably less than 50% would do it.

                                                                                                                                                                  guys like TTBoy, they'll just keep doing what they're doing, expose talent to risk, whatever.

                                                                                                                                                                      anyone have accurate informed info on the hahahahahahas of pcrdna/pcrrna? im doing a lot of research after this positive test in la, but not finding much

Asking them to show up with proof of an hiv negative test is like asking them to explain string theory.

Jace for example you shot for vivid considering the amount of money they will make on that video they should pay for it.
                                                                                                                                                                                  that is just silly, when we were in LA we worked for AT LEAST 3 companies a week.....and it was our choice...i don't think vivid would be too keen on paying for our test and then us going on to work for 20 other companies that month....and like someone else said, if we tested for each company, we would look like junkies....ecspecially with AIM, my wife has been butchered there from them trying to find a vein...

                                                                                                                                                                                  talent are independant contractors, plain and simple....and when your a construcction worker, you opay for your certs, why shouldn't talent pay the one hundred measly dollars once a month to get their tests...out of the $10K their making that month?

If you wanted to work for Anabolic, VCA, Hustler, etc then you should have to use your own money to pay for a test.

We've paid a couple of times for girls to get tested to never see them again. At $100 a pop, that ain't cheap. And soooo not worth it. If the girl is seriouse about the work, she'll get tested. It's her responsiblity. I don't ask the models to pay for my video tapes.
