that do it yourself HIV home test kit is something I read about on some site while following this HIV thing in the porn industry. 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.

if there was an accurate self-administered test i would certainly stock up that shit and use it b4 all shoots. i googled around this vscan test but havent really found about how to get it, or what the hahahahahaha is on it. its fairly useless to do an onsite test if the hahahahahaha is 6 months.

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

why the hell does it turn fenster (deutsch) fenetre (francais) - those glass things on your house - into hahahahahaha?

testing once more - hahahahahaha testing misspell - winndow

:1orglaugh ain't that the truth!!!

some don't even show up with make-up or a change of clothes, let alone with an HIV test in hand

this is a real problem

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?

ROFL! Hey I just like to get paid!

agreed

agreed

Talent!
It is worth it to me to stay alive. I go every other Saturday, NOT once a month....

The model

Sorry, doesn't work. 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.

50 HIV tests

Oh ya, Hi EASTON!!!!

Sorry Kimmy, this is the quote I was really trying to respond too. My bad, it's just been so long since we've seen you, you're quote got stuck in there instead. Must have been a sign! lol We miss you girl.

NOT true! I have had to pay for my own drug test before when being hired with a non-adult related business. And knowing that it meant I would get work and therefore get a paycheck, I did so gladly. Just as the talent should do.

The question is: Who whould benefit for this tests anyway?

I guess the person who shall be doing the tests must pay for the expenses. She's the one on the line, right?
