FSC Announces Testing Facilities for APHSS.org Program

CANOGA PARK, Calif. ? Free Speech Coalition (FSC), the adult industry trade association, is pleased to announce four testing facilities that will participate in the Adult Production Health & Safety Services program (APHSS,org).

This program has been developed with the help of legal and medical experts, as well as industry members. It will be administrated by Free Speech Coalition as a resource to fill the gap left by the closure of the AIM clinic.

APHSS.org has four recommended testing facilities, locally and nationwide. Performers that test at these facilities will have their work availability results entered into the APHSS.org database. Producers and agents can then verify a performer?s availability status through the database.

Primex Lab is located 16742 Stagg St., #120, Van Nuys, CA, and has draw stations throughout California and Nevada. Performers that have a prescription can go to any Primex facility and request a performer?s panel test.

LabTest LA is located at 12410 Burbank Blvd., Ste. 100B, North Hollywood, CA, and also has draw station locations in Florida. Performers can obtain a prescription at any of their locations and request a performer?s panel test.

Advanced Medical Testing Center (AMTC) has locations nationwide for performers located throughout the United States.

The Healing Wave Center is located at 16742 Stagg St., #109, Van Nuys, CA 91406. This medical clinic can provide testing services to performers, as well as other limited medical services with comfort, privacy and dignity.

All of the testing facilities also are open to the public, and have a wide range of testing services. For more information on any of the listed facilities, go to APHSS.org and click on the ?testing facilities? tab on the top menu bar. From there, users can follow links to the facilities? websites.

?FSC has been working diligently since the closure of AIM, to provide the industry with the APHSS.org program, in order to continue health and safety protocols for adult production,? Membership Director Joanne Cachapero said. ?Our top priority has been to protect the well-being and privacy of performers, as well as securing the best possible testing services for the industry.

?We?re starting from scratch with this program,? she added, ?but with the support of the adult community, we?re sure that APHSS.org will be an important resource for adult productions. We also look forward to developing additional APHSS.org services, such as health & safety education for industry members.?

Currently, the APHSS.org database is undergoing beta testing, and a formal launch announcement will come later this week.

For more information on APHSS.org, or FSC, please contact (818) 348-9373, or [email protected].

Have we learned nothing here?

The FIRST question ANYONE should be asking is How do we know it is SECURE

What is being done to insure performer privacy? Database security? system accountability? system auditing?

This is just AIM 2.0 it would seem

BTW AIM 1.0 is till up and accessible even though every test on it (many over 5 years old) has been out of date for MONTHS.

I have gone through hell and back dealing with the problems from the last one AND NOT A SINGLE ONE OF MY GIRLS was involved. I did it to try to help when nobody else (FSC) would.

Lets learn from our mistakes here people just say NO to HalfAss or whatever they call it.

I don't think that the FSC would be so stupid as to give out the details of their security measures.

I feel comfortable knowing that knowledgeable industry professionals have designed the system to be as secure as possible.

However, I think anything can be hacked given enough resources and time. Nothing is 100% unhackable if it is connected to a network, has a keyboard or has an open port.

Such is modern life.....

Off to a good start.

thank you I needed a chuckle this morning.

mikesouth

HA! I KNEW IT! Just another kludged together, half assed system.

And the usual FSC answer...don't ask for any details, we are smarter than you, we have it covered.

Only a complete fucking moron would trust this bunch,

Criticism without meaningful alternatives is useless.

If you have any questions, give Joanne a call. Her number is in the news release.

mikesouth

I have a better Idea i will force the FSC's hand in public.

something tells me the FSC isn't exactly in the top ten trusted names in porn....matter of fact I think it's only marginally above Donny Long

I, personally, don't share your opinion of the FSC.
