And just exactly how does anyone plan on overseeing of the administration of these antibiotics? How does the union or apac feel about this.Why is the FSC making decisions about this, Why are producers, not talent, deciding what testing, and now drugs, performers must take before the will be hired? ONLY IN PORN

That’s what I think of when I think of porn and this issue. Condoms are already the law. OSHA is gonna crack down. So, does porn try to work with the authorities or figure out some way to comply? Nope.

Instead, porn sues LA County and loses in a decision that is applicable outside of LA County.

Loss in hand, some porn producers appeal OSHA decisions rather than comply and …. predictably ….. lose but keep on doin’ what they do.

Now, they propose an action that is without question medically unsound and a risk to performer health, and probably illegal as a workplace requirement, and continue to fight a battle that they’re going to lose even if they win. What I mean is that even if they defeat Prop 60, they still have to deal with OSHA.

Now, this is porn. Do I expect them to comply, regardless of what happens with Prop 60? Nope. Do I expect that any performer will bring a legal action if they’re required to take antibiotics? Nope.

As I’ve said before, what’s going to nail porn is OSHA. If they ever decide to crack down, they’ll fine porn out of business.

Mike, there is documented, irrefutable proof of the rates of HPV in the industry. It is astonishing, and scarier than hell. The number of female performers who regularly test postive for HPV when they have routine pap smears done would boggle the minds of any health professional,
Any time a woman has any ‘abonormal’ initial results on a routine pap smear, and HPV test is then automatically run, its called a ‘Reflex Test” Any form of HPV will indicate an abnormal result on a pap smear, then you REFLEX as in automatic response, and do an HPV test.
The number of females tested in the adult industry in one month showed that over 85% YES 85% tested positive for at least one of the four strains of HPV most likely to cause cancer,,,,and of that 85%, over 90% tested positive for more than one of the four deadliest strains.
Sorry folks, these are just the facts. HPV also causes throat cancer,,think of that girls when your scene partner pulls out of your snatch, or the snatch of the girl youre working with, and shoves it down your throat.
Phyllisha, glad to see at least you have the guts to stand up,,,,looks like the union wants it both ways, that is to put producers concerns on par with performer concerns, if not above them.
I have all the stats and all the medical records to back up everything I just said here. REMEMBER, I also had access to all those ‘other’ clinics that performers went to besides AIM.

But this is me speaking personally, Phyllisha Anne. Not the Union however, they voted to stay neutral.

If you would like proof of FSC proposal of medicating the industry I’ll email it to mike so he can post it.

Not mentioned there is the potential for nasty blistering sun poisoning from any antibiotic in the tetracycline family including doxycycline. As mike tweeted this isn’t a first choice antibiotic for anyone taking hormonal birth control. This is one of the antibiotics docs and pharmacists both do patient education for women of childbearing age….. to make sure they understand the bottle warning …reduces effectiveness of hormonal birth control use alternate means to prevent pregnancy.

Wonder if doxy also reduces effectiveness of hormones used in the trans community…. something to look into.

Doxy will also compound kidney/liver risks associated with HIV meds and/or PrEP. If you’re not too yellow add a few drinks to wash down some pain killers to see how long it takes to get that nice jaundiced hue.

FSC is pushing the meningitis vaccine to pretend they are working with Cal/OSHA and care about performer health. If they cared they’d be shelling out $100- 150 for the vaccine.

FSC puppets are spewing bullshit about no test for HPV. There is a HPV-DNA blood test that looks for antibodies. It’s mostly used to investigate head and neck cancers. There is also a brand new test by Roche to simplify the process when a OB/GYN grabs a smear for HPV when they do a pap-smear.

Testing to identify cancer causing strains of HPV have been around since the 80’s when Brigham Women’s in Boston started following me for ten years to research outcomes for non-hpv cancer of the cervix. They still have a file to keep track of titanium chips marking the spot of every biopsy.

No clue how much HPV testing would add to the FSC-PASs panel but it’s like Hepatitis A-B ….cheaper to vaccinate than buy ten tests. FSC doesn’t want to test for HPV cuz it would be documented proof …imagine porn cancer ala asbestos mesothelioma?

Even if the performers are immune from diseases [they aren’t], as some of Mike’s commenters like to say, there is still a huge public health concern due to non-filmed actions of adult film performers, whether it be through escorting or just plain off-camera and unpaid sex in one’s private life.
