Here in Vegas they do free testing at LBGT.
I've never done that because we have a standing order from our personal physician at Lab Corp. Cost is $59 But IF you went for the free testing here...most days of the month they do the "2 weeks" to get the results. But one day a month they do the rapid hiv test: September 19 — 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m. - 5 p.m. (subject to change) Gay and Lesbian Center of Southern Nevada Free Rapid HIV Testing / STD Screenings / Hepatitis A & B Vaccines 401 S. Maryland Pkwy. Las Vegas, NV 89101 Call 733-9800 for more information. There's also what looks to be a Boxing gym that does it for free all month long: 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Richard Steele Boxing Free Rapid HIV Testing / STD Screening 2475 W. Cheyenne Ave. North Las Vegas, NV 89032 Call 638-1308 for more information. That's just 2 of the ones I found here by googling. I prefer to use Lab Corp (the same company that does blood work nationwide every time any of you go to the doctor and need blood tests done). We found out how much the price was jacked up by AIM and TTS in the past when my doctor sent me there to get blood drawn. I was telling the nurse what we did for a living and said that Claudia Marie had to test every month and it was $130 PLUS the fee for whomever did the draw. The people at Lab Corp were shocked. They told me we were getting screwed hard and showed me the cost of the test. Told me to just go to my doctor and get an order for it. So we did. :) I never plan on having CM test with one of those "industry" testing places again. I have no desire to get ripped off and/or have her medical records floating around for everyone to see. |

http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj...6unmo1_500.jpg If the industry is forced to go condom only, and continues with testing (as I feel it should), then why not partner up with AHF as a educational/safe-sex partner if they are willing to make testing more affordable for performers? Then the adult trade organization representing the organization could serve the industry better as an independent industry watchdog (if we co-pay for testing, a small % could go to the industry watchdog group to underwrite education and other efforts within the industry). Of course, that is dependent upon AHF being open to working with us in earnest towards a mutual goal of safe and healthy adult entertainment. AHF can focus on what they do best, the safe, while we focus on what we do best, the sex. Win-Win-Win, war is over (if you want it)... :) :stoned ADG |

Can I just say it annoys me trans performers get lumped in with Gay Performers.
We test just as hard as the mainstream industry and we use CONDOMS almost every time! NONE.. NOT ONE US Transsexual PERFORMER has EVER BEEN ON the list!! So why you guys point your fingers at US I have no clue! It's always been the gay for pay or female actresses that turn up with it. Not to mention SEX IN GENERAL IS NEVER going to be 100% safe! If you believe that you are delusional! There are agencies that escort their girls out to the highest bidder and the client will fuck them raw! To deny that again delusional! Everyone loves to point fingers, but doesn't point fingers at their own unsafe way of doing things! Porn perfomers have personal lives and a shit load escort..28 days to me is too long of time! Every 15 days should be put in place! The moratorium was not long enough the first time making us look horrendous to the mainstream media! Then on top of it you had producers in Arizona and other places not following the moratorium convincing performers to come their way to shoot! It needs to be a group effort to keep our asses off the chopping block! Instead of working apart we should work together. The gay industry should be HELD to the SAME standards! It should be UNIVERSAL! I personally work only with my husband or if we do threesomes I google the shit out of the performers name so I know who and what SHE is about. I think performers should have to sign a contract or admit to the company/performer she is working with that they escort. Escorts can complain all they want, but when you are having sex with 1 to 10 different guys daily your chance of infection SIGNIFICANTLY goes up! FYI though OUR STANDARDS OF TESTING IN THE US TRANSSEXUAL NICHE is the SAME AS YOURS and we almost ALWAYS USE A CONDOM.. Companies like GROOBY expect you to use a condom. So why we get mixed into the gay side I WILL NEVER know besides the fact we both have the same downstairs! FYI GAY MEN ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO TRANSSEXUALS! WHY?? Because they look like women! They have tits! They want MEN like many of the men posting in this thread. If we want change!! Then we as an industry as a WHOLE need to come together! None of this straight vs gay vs trans vs crossover crap We should all have the same standard of testing! I know some of the companies in the gay niche do condom only no testing..that should be illegal and abolished! As well when they call a moratorium we all halt in every state! In case a traveling performer so happens to have it! Otherwise we are going to get our asses handed to use every single time! |

Her drug use? Look at the the real porn wiki leaks She could of easily picked it up being irresponsible. Not just from Rod Daily. She escorts, does glory hole scenes with untested individuals the list goes on And I am well aware of the plague that is there on "crossover" It just annoys me when transsexual performers are mixed in with the gay industry. Rod Daily was honest and he didn't throw the industry under the bus like Miss Cameron did in her new huff post article. She is an adult performer she should take accountability for her actions. Notice she mentioned nothing in the article of her hardcore drug use and/or personal life. She kept it focused on she was the victim and if she knew what knows now she'd of always demanded a condom. Eluding to the mainstream it's the porn industry. Then she says she still wants to do solo scenes and that she regrets being the poster child because now no partners will work with her. I was shocked by that as if she was saying she'd still perform on the down low. It's a doozey http://thereal*************.com/huff...embarrassment/ |

I get annoyed when AHF make up total fabrications and release them as fact and the fucktards here at GFY, that AREN'T even in the biz, run with them like it's true and the NBC picks it up like it's true.. no producers I know will shoot her |
Aaaah, so now the poor "victim" Cameron Bay is blaming it all on the porn industry.
How predictable. Maybe ADG will rush over to give even more money to her "fund". :( Oh wait...there will be no need for that. The Anti-Porn people are going to help her make money while she is of value to them. I'd like to make an analogy: I hire 2 carpenters to work on my home. After work they go and do some carpentry on their own home. They get hurt. And now I get blamed for it because I was nice enough to have given them a job to make a living. That scenario would NEVER happen in the "real" world. But somehow, here in porn...it does. |

what mess for sure...

Quote:
It's usually always a special case why a condom isn't used and performers are always tested right before said scene. It's not done on an every day basis like the straight industry. But again seeing as how not one american ts performer has been on a quarantine list and we all test heavily I think we are just as safe as YOUR "crowd". I am probably safer than most I don't escort..I do scenes with my husband...I rarely shoot unless the pay is good enough and I always make the performer get tested right before a shoot. So again yawn on your "sarcasm" |

Kudos to you for being safe all the time, but I think you're in the minority. The fact an HIV issue hasn't come from a ts yet is just luck. Some of them escort, do drugs, and have risky sex just like everyone else. Drugs, booze, lowered inhibition, sexual people... shit happens. Doesn't matter what side of the business you work in. :2 cents: |

Just wanted to add a little to this... Mike South is going around talking about this on his blog and his facts are not correct.....
http://www.mikesouth.com/mike-south-...nto-porn-8300/ I know we are all little school kids over here but lets not go added fuel to the fire when we dont know wtf we are talking about.... The person in the ad he posted isnt Sophia in anyway shape or form.... So when we write about raising our standards in the industry lets start by raising our standards in reporting and fact finding... Thats all I got to say about that! |
Yeah, I saw the comments on that article earlier. It's funny, there's a line from Zoolander that applies perfectly to so many people in adult. A few days ago I spoofed it a bit for some forum post. Think it applies here too. Although one thing to note... I don't really mind MS and I have nothing against him, but I think at times he tries way too hard. Too many people only looking out for themselves and don't care about damaging someone's reputation or just screwing people over in general...
"Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way?" |

Although they are generally scant on details, lots of people know that something serious happened related to HIV which caused the adult industry to shut down. It's nice when I can tell other people about the many truly wonderful and caring people that there are in this industry. :) :stoned ADG |

ADG, You know me, I have always been a very truthful, honest, respectful, professional person. In porn, on GFY and in life in general. I dont steal, lie, cheat or deceive. I like Mike South, I get a long with Mike South, even if we don't agree with each other on certain things. I have been friends, with Kevin for about 9 years. Spoke with him on this subject. I know for a fact, that he did NOT shoot on the Saturday in question. I don't care who told Mike What about who, no shoot took place. I know this guy very well. He is a good person and a class act. I called him up and mentioned what Mike said on his blog about him and he laughed and said, "Dave its not true, didn't happen, I shouldn't have to defend myself when I did nothing, this is ridicules." Furthermore, I asked him, if he would like me to contact Mike South and tell him that he is incorrect with his information? "Dave, I appreciated it, but just let it go my friend, ............" I told him "OK", i will leave it be. Now I promised Kevin, That I would let this go and Let Evil Angel handle it. I Should not speak up for Kevin because, I promised, I would just "let it go", But this has turned into my credibility and character being put into question now. So I will make it super simple: Kevin Moore did not shoot on the Saturday in question!!! This, I will put on my 3 year old sons life on and my 6 year old daughters life on!!!This I know!!!!! I know what he was doing on Saturday and it was not shooting!! I am also willing to wager 2k, that Mike South will not be able to factually back up this story. (No disrespect) We can both put the money into an escrow account and see where the facts actually fall. Who gets the money, GFY can decide. Thats how sure, I am about what I know on the subject!! Let me know. My word, my reputation is as solid as they come. The truth will come out. That I know!! Girl needs to show a cashed check, have an agent back her story, etc. Writing a story that can hurt someone without checking the facts is just plain wrong and unprofessional. Just Dave |

It's nice that you are a character witness for your friend Kevin, however neither you nor I was there, and only Kevin and the female performer know the truth. I posted what Mike South wrote in order to bring out into the open, and try to get to the bottom of a pretty serious accusation; that one of the companies represented on the FSC Board violated the production moratorium. After your initial post defending Kevin, I e-mailed Mike and asked him wtf? Mike stood by his story, and pointed out that the performer that Kevin said he worked with on Friday was different than the performer whom MS says Kevin worked with on Saturday. I take most hearsay with a grain of salt, so honestly, I still can't tell who is telling the truth. I don't know Mike or Kevin personally, and for anyone reading, Dave and I have never met personally that I am aware of, although I may have met him briefly when I shot at his house years ago, since I am good friends with a guy who was one of his roommates at the time - I've only heard good things about Dave, and consider him a very good shooter (I can even kinda understand how he jumped at the opportunity to work for Manwin, even though many consider them to be the scourge of the industry). Anyway, I feel that there could be some misdirection going on from both sides - for example, Kevin says he never shot with Performer A after the moratorium was in effect, when the performer in question was not Performer A, but instead Performer B, and Mike won't identify who Performer B is (I figured MS was setting a trap and would reveal Performer B's name at some point). My post was an effort to bring this dispute out into the open to see if it was even possible to get to the bottom of this issue. Mike may fly a little fast and loose on occasion, and he has stepped on his dick a time or two (muckraker occupational hazards), however I would say that he raises a lot of important issues no one else likes to talk about, and he has been proven to be correct on many occasions. If nothing else, hopefully this controversy is causing others to not break the production moratorium, or at least to think twice about doing so, realizing that there could be some blowback if they do. Would be nice to have the principles weigh in... :2 cents: :stoned ADG |
hey im the first to admit it...if you look in the comments section some of the commenters got it but I explained anyway I caught that it may or may not be the same Sofia Delgado...the pics are 2 yrs old but the point of the ads being posted was simple...whether its her or not theres no shortage of people in adult that WOULD shoot THAT Sofia Delgado as soon as the ink was dry on her test results and thats the mistake we make all too often.
I get that Im high profile and that makes me an easy target but some of yall might wanna give things a bit more thought....I dont presume my readers are morons, I would appreciate that they not assume that I am... |

Nice post. I always like your posts. For me, Kevin isn't some guy behind a keyboard, or some Avatar on a message board, he is a long time friend who I know very well. He isn't some guy, i know through a person or hung out with once or twice. He's a real friend. One that I would waste my Friday night to defend. I not going to go as far as to say, Mike South is being malicious and I do thinks he cares about talent and their well being, but I will say that he has been given wrong information and has preceded to use it without fact checking it. I dont care, if he releases the name or not. Don't care, but it would be nice for him to ask and and get an email of the canceled check or some kind of photo proof, name of the DVD she was shooting, location city that he shot her in, (I know he doesn't shoot in LA City Or LA County) or the name of the talent that this fictitious girl worked with. Something. We all know when Mike has real dirt, he is a fact posting maniac. Where are they now? Words from a person who, I absolutely know did not get hired to work on the Saturday in question. Im all about not reviling the source, but to make serious claims of safety violations without having one single provable fact isn't very nice. One last thing; I would not know a girl in this business who may have been wronged or made to shoot at serious risks to her health, to not publicly come out and point out the wrong doing. If there was wrong doing this girl should publicly blast Kevin so that no other girl in the future would be put at risk. Maybe she doesn't care about others being put at risk. But that has not happened has it? Because there is no girl who shot on the Saturday in question. Just Dave |
Quote:
Fair enough, and I have no argument with what you said, except to note that the girl could be pressured not to say any more "if she ever wants to work in this town again". If I were in that position, it would be an easy choice between the guy that just paid me, and has the clout he has regarding my future work in the biz, against making Mike South look good on a message forum (no offense Mike). Unless Mike can produce a smoking gun, this one ends in Kevin's favor in the court of public opinion, since the burden of proof is on Mike now. That does not mean that Kevin did not shoot on Saturday, just that Mike was unable to prove it - two different things for people able to follow along. Would like to meet you someday Dave. Let me know if you are ever doing any workshops. :stoned ADG |
Quote:
For sure. I agree. The agent in that situation should way be crucified! It will come out either way. If it is bullshit, no shooter will want to shoot her. Nobody wants the drama and bullshit. But at the same time, if she comes out, she will for sure be respected for calling out shit that should not be happening. And in that situation, she would be fine. Quote:
Shooting at a time like now would absolutely kill your clout and reputation. Nobody is shooting. Shooters are really taking this seriously and so are the agents. I had a friend, just to see if he could book sex scenes,(he had no intention of actually shooting) To see if any agents would take it, nobody has. Quote:
Cant see him getting any proof. Canceled check, something. Have he come forward and point out the scumbag. Anyone who shoots now is a scumbag! Quote:

For sure!! Your in the Bay Area right? Well I happen to be off for a bit right now. lol If you come down in the next 10 days and you bring your both your stills and video cameras, I got lights, I would totally work on helping up your game. We can shoot, and go over it in the editing bay immediately. Got a 6K studio filled with gear and Im always shooting non porn stuff. Its never work for me. Im always smiling and laughing.

Like you, I love what I do, so it is not work for me, but I must confide, I've never worked so hard at not work in my life... :Graucho Yup, I am here in the SF Bay Area (I live down the street from your former roomie B, he shoots great stills for me sometimes)...Anyway, we got 49ers, Raiders, A's, Giants, Sharks, America's Cup, awesome weather (foggy in the City, duh, but great otherwise), and a kick ass line-up of Fall concerts, so if you're ever up this way, hit me up (I've been known to entertain a GFYer or two up here). :) Well, I have to get back to not work... :winkwink: :stoned ADG |

More facts, not speculation
Everyone performer #3 worked with has tested negative, and it has been over a month since she worked with anyone in the adult industry. Yes, there are only 3 performers who tested positive. Cameron Bay, her boyfriend Rod Daily, and this performer who is their close friend. All performers will be asked to go get new tests next week and as long as there are no new positive tests production will resume late next week. |
If anyone thinks I post ALL the dirt I get theyd be wrong....I didnt post the girls name that he shot because she was new talent from FL who returned to FL the next day and likely was clueless, I havent posted others who are defying the moratorium (I know quite a few) I singled out Kevin because of Christian Manns connection to the FSC who called for the moratorium in the first place but then allows his directors to break it.
Christian has the facts now, what he does with them is his call likely kevin will get his hand slapped and that will be the end of it Even I cancelled a shoot today ... none of my guys work for anyone but me and I have a very tight talent pool, but the girl I had scheduled had been to LA and shot once scene there in the last 30 days. It was my call..better safe than sorry. I do believe that in the end everything usually comes out but for me to run certain things like Sofia Delgados name I have to have a pretty good reason. You should see some of the stuff I DONT run.... |

Let's see, there is probably going to be more frequent testing (14 or 15 days instead of 30), which FSC/PASS was planning to announce already weeks ago anyway, but other than that, it looks like business as usual: ? Some companies will continue to test, others will not ? Some companies will continue to shoot bareback trannys/gays, and some of these will continue to crossover perform ? Performers will still catch HIV and expose others to the virus ? A moratorium will only be called by the FSC if it is a performer that tested at their clinic or is cooperating with them (if they know about another case, they will do little/nothing about it if they feel it does not affect their liability/reputation, and will not call a moratorium for the safety of the industry) ? Top agencies will continue to serve as fronts for illegal prostitution Well, let's all crack a beer, now that the latest adult industry HIV outbreak has been swept under the carpet. :drinkup http://wac.9A8C.systemcdn.net/009A8C...eengrabcrp.jpg :stoned ADG |

My invitation is for real. Not busy for the next 10 days. Really think about it. Can get some girls in for solo content so we can practice stills and Vid shooting. I love sharing tech info. Would be fun! And I know Theo would love to catch lunch and Dinner with you too. He's in Greece for about 6 more days though. Me and Brennan would work technical photography all the time. He lived with me for 4+ years. I am a close friend and big brother to him. Brennan is back up in the Bay area with a good programing job. Super happy as well. Great guy and a class act. We chopped it up for an hour 4 days ago. Maybe I will ride my Harley up to the Bay Area to visit you and Brennan. Quote:
Thank you my friend. Sorry I did not get back to you on ICQ. Had the alarm company at my studio. But to anser your question: This mic is really good and priced very well for it performance. A must have for shooting. Get This http://static.bhphoto.com/images/ima...G-3_563798.jpg I use this: Sennheiser MKH 70 and the MKH 60 for different applications when shooting. Both are super good, priced very high and can be overkill for porn. But the are so good and so directional, that I never have to cut for plans and I can tune out all background noise with the Low pass, Mid pass, and High pass cut dip switches. This... http://static.bhphoto.com/images/ima...H_70_79499.jpg The down side is; If you are holing the camera and you are trying to ask a girl questions, The MKH 70 absolutely wont pick up the camera mans voice. lol Both good, both used for different things.

Not that it really matters at this point but just an observation. Was this an HIV related fever?
http://api.ning.com/files/E4nzSQYY5F...ayhospital.jpg If so, then that means this photo was taken on or before June 12th. She tested negative for HIV on July 26th and was given the green light to shoot? Am I missing something here or are they completely unrelated? Isn't a high fever one of the first symptoms of acute HIV? |
