Way to go OC Modeling : Re the current HIV mess..

Thats just nuts. And this guy has a girlfriend?

besides our differences i am going to agree and disagree with you for whatever that's worth..

first, you made a thread saying "Way To Go OC Modeling", so by that title it would appear that you are blaming OC.

Is it really up to the talent agencies to monitor models STD's? Isn't that what AIM is supposed to do?

second, i believe that bisexuals, especially male bi's, are the main cause for the spread of HIV to heterosexual females which ultimately leads to the spread of HIV to straight males.

of course iv drug users are a major cause of spreading bloodborne diseases, but i think the case in point here is within the adult film industry..

with that being said, why on earth would a studio or female actress take the chance of shooting with a gay/bi male performer when the incubation period of HIV is still a question mark?

the other major problem i have with testing is that you only need a recent test to shoot scenes that does not factor in the fact that a performer could have had unprotected sex with an infected partner days before a shoot and therefore may be infected and still have a clean test..

to me, the system has always been flawed and i am surprised that there have not been more issues in the past..

how many events like this are going to be needed before stricter standards are put into place?

maybe if the studio owners had to have unprotected sex with performers before the shoot. there would be more concern...

Testing is a lot more common these days. Many studios use the same 20 minute oral swab that the free clinics use. 99.9% accuracy with that 0.1% usually being false positives ... but I'd rather have a false positive than being a false negative.

I prefer using the free clinic for the same swab and making a $35 donation which covers their cost plus a few dollars. They'd be more than happy to do it for free though.

Then you can sero match, which means HIV+ actors can still perform, but only with other HIV+ actors -- and still with condoms so that in case they have different strands they do not re-infect.

Indeed, there is a backlash against bareback videos ... overall. It still has its fans though. Most of my consumer friends like bareback videos because they're forced to use condoms in everyday life and it's a way to enjoy it without putting themselves at risk. Of course, the models are still at risk.

HIV isn't all models have to worry about. Hepatitis makes life a real bitch and sometimes kill.

All can be avoided with condoms.

the porn industry here in the valley is pretty 'clean' considering how it is in other places... AIM does a great job

Can you post a pic? I'd fuck you. When's the next tradeshow?

Interesting, the last patient 0 is an escort as well.

Everyone seems to be focused on gay sex as the initial exposure. Ever think that maybe patient zero had a heroine problem? Sharing needles is another way to be exposed to AIDS. Just floating around another possible scenario, playing devils advocate. How many of you in the business have seen some serious drug use by those in the industry? They really haven't identified who patient zero is yet, so far it's only rumors... It'll come out soon enough. I really hope no one else is infected, wishful thinking...

Spanx!

No doubt, that's what I'm saying. Though, I'm leaning more towards luck than AIM, because AIM only catches them once they have HIV. My surprise comes from how little HIV cases there have been.

outside of high risk groups HIV isn't really that common. it's the 'special interest lobbies' that make HIV seem like a common occurrence.

statistics suggest that most HIV cases in the US are homosexual and or black.

'The overall 5-year relative lung cancer survival rate for 1995-2002 was 15 percent.'

and like someone here in this thread did suggest I would be happy to have HIV instead of lung cancer.

as i understand AIM does not test for Hepatitis, which i never understood. just as life threatening but much easier to spread.

but the condom thing only works if at least 80% of the big and medium size companies are in

who is he dating?

Compare the current version of OC modelings female talent page with Googles cached version. It's not hard to tell. And judging by the status of her booking availability she was brand new to OC.

None of your beezness, mister.

Looks like 4 girls have been removed since the google cache. 3 of them are very new to the biz
