Why are people looking to FSC for scientific judgements instead of the scientists like the CDC and BASHH?

Also, Jamie French claims to know who the male performer is and has no problem telling anyone or everyone who it is. I’d like to see mikesouth.com call them out.

Strange Coincidence maybe. Remember the AHF president Michael Weinstein was pushing condoms in the porn industry or even worse forcing the use of condoms and perhaps later into our homes was later found out may have owned Life Styles condoms or had a financial interest in it. I hope no one here is getting kick backs for Prep or Truvada

Fair enough. This is what people have been talking about on here for years — having both what is usually referred to as an ELISA test and the PCR-RNA test both being required. I hope this forces the FSC to mandate both HIV tests for performing in this industry. No one with HIV or AIDS would be able to perform using this methodology. As far as outing the HIV positive performer, I would do it and let my errors and omissions insurer deal with the lawsuit if it comes to that (you all do have journalistic errors and omissions insurance, don’t you — I would certainly have one if I ever served as a reporter for a site like this). Mike did it for years and the only lawsuit he had to deal with didn’t have a damn thing to do with outing these people. A physician or employee of a medical facility cannot out the person. A journalist can (discuss with your attorney but this is the way I understand HIPAA — it only binds health care professionals) and in order to prove malice or libel/slander the person would have to prove he is not HIV positive in court to hold a journalist liable. This is why you pay for that errors and omissions insurance policy — so you can take a chance when journalistic integrity and the societal good require taking a chance like this.
