Charity Bangs Puts Forth An Idea

I applaud performers who actually try to improve things for themselves and fully support their efforts.  I think Charity’s idea can be done, it would probably need a lawyer to do it right but its a step in the right direction.  Performers need to start looking out for each other a bit more.

Here we find ourselves yet again, between a rock and a hard place. All because someone (supposedly, as I still believe in innocent until proven guilty) tested positive for an STD and attempted to cover it up, we are forced to either stop production, or shoot with a higher risk of transmission. It seems like just yesterday we learned of Mister Marcus altering a positive test and working with multiple people. Then just as we did back then, many people had a call to arms, some even threatening to quit working over the events, but with a few exceptions, not a single person did much more than rant and rave on twitter. So back to square one, this time with a performer testing positive for a non curable std, and continuing to work with others, out of a desperation to stay financially afloat.

 

This must stop here people, we must implement changes to ensure this stays as safe of a work environment as possible, as at the end of the day, we ARE having sex for a living. So how do we do that? I will propose the same thing I proposed during the Mister Marcus incident, that we band together as a group and all agree to sign the FORPORN Talent Transparency Pact (FTTP). What is the FTTP you may ask? Well first, yes I did shamelessly plug FORPORN, which stands for the “Fraternal ORder of PORNographers”, a proposed professional organization of responsible porn talent, producers, agents, drivers, and basically anyone in the industry who wants to see it succeed (more info can be found here: http://goo.gl/onbGLI ). Next is “Talent Transparency”, this is the key term here, as currently, the talent in question are being far from transparent, as they are legally protected by HIPPA. We fix this with two steps, first by coming up with a “Pact” that we will all, from this day forward, only work with other talent who have signed the second, more important document, or waiver, which would allow TTS or CET to contact the appropriate people when someone designated as adult talent comes up positive on his or her std test. Then, we as talent only have to check that people we are performing with have a valid test from TTS or CET and are designated as adult talent in the TTS or CET system, something we can just come up with a term  for, like ATWS (Adult Talent, Waiver Signed).

 

This, as simple as it sounds, would have prevented both of the previous scares, and any future scare. By scare I don’t mean obtaining a positive result for an STD, a “scare” is when a performer has the potential to spread the STD by continuing to work. As talent we can stop these scares, but it will only work if we all band together. It truly is a shame that we have come to a point where we must all sign basically a promise to be honest with our fellow performers, but we are at that point. I have already contacted LATATA and requested a meeting, this will be to hash out the details, but in a very short amount of time, we could find ourselves at a much safer point. So I end with a challenge, who will band with me and agree to sign this pact that we MUST change this system of non-transparency?

  1. While this all sounds very good there is just one major problem. You cannot sign a waiver, or pact, that is in violation of the law, Any time a third party divulges someones test results they are supposed to have a seperate waiver, detailing exactly who the results are going to, what method they are being sent(electronic, fax etc.)

    A perormer can give thei results directly to anybody they want to, but CET and TTS need permission, EVERY SINGLE TIME they gove results to a third party.

    What the industry needs to do is go back to the old TTS protocol, that had a code number on every test result to verify the information.

  2. im not so sure this couldnt be done, heres why when I had my insurance physical I had to sign that hippa waiver to allow the doctor to release my results to….Humana. It didnt specify specifically who at Humana, presumably anyone at Humana can see that information. but thats why I said a lawyer is gonna be needed, but I expect that Charity and LATATA could make this work with some guidance from Fattarossi or someone.

  3. Rules regarding releasing information to other healthcare providers and insurance companies are different than disclosures to private parties. A big pat of the Desi Foxx lawsuit against AIM was on these very same grounds, and the specific statutes are all mentioned in the brief for that lawsuit. An open ended, non specific waiver is not legal. That is how Darren James won a six figure settlement from AIM. Actually, AIM settled out of court because they didnt have a leg to stand on.

  4. Yeah, I wouldn’t want my info out there. You people should go back to
    hard testing paper results and 2 id’s and fuck that AHSPP what ever its called. That’s another potential flaw system and Donny Long is just waiting with his Porno producer buddies in the valley and one in San Diego to help him get more Talent private info to him

    All it takes is somebody with a password and in they are. they got you’re real name and address and phone number and start digging up
    info on you and posting it. porn wikki Leaks .com sucks!

  6. Hey speaking of Donny Long…….
    There he goes right under your
    Nose.

    He’s never too far away, Right Don?
