Our testing system has worked to document thousands of cases of std’s among our workers in the last few years.

Our testing system does not even check for oral and anal stds.

Our testing system is proof that testing alone is inadequate.

Quote from Dr. Miao, “The test is only as good as the day your blood is drawn.”

this is called a harm reduction program. that is, you accept that there will be infections, and you try to limit the exposue through early detection.

Harm reduction is basicly admitting that you have a problem, and because you accept that people will continue to act irresponsibly you try to limit the imact of the irresponsible behavior. For the porn industry to insinuate that a harm reduction program is adequate to provide a safe working environment is by definition ludicrous.

Do you have any idea how fast HIV and HEP. C can spread through an industry of people fucking each other everyday in a 30 day period?

I know it’s a joke…. The testing doesn’t work!!! People are floating in STD’s. They don’t care because they have the mindset that they can just get a shot or take a pill and it goes away. It appears they feel the same way about HIV. I guess John stagliano is their hero..I don’t know.. I don’t get it… and then you have performers like James Deen who says he has NEVER had an STD..COME ON!!! It’s fucking bizarre. I’m starting to think you’re right, maybe they have been brainwashed. EVERYBODY REPEAT!!! TESTING WORKS!!! You will NEVER come up with a slogan that makes sense..because people in the industry make NO sense!!

Ok, I’ll agree with you. Testing works!
But, can’t we do better than that and go with a new slogan:
OUR TESTING SYSTEM WORKS AT LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE HIV+.
Or
OUR TESTING SYSTEM WORKS UNLESS YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING HIV.

I’m not even being a smart-ass. If they adopted either of these more descriptive slogans, people would think they were insane!
Here I’ll even try to make one in favor of testing:
OUR TESTING SYSTEM WORKS AT IDENTIFYING PERFORMERS WHO HAVE CONTRACTED HIV AT SOME POINT WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS TO AVOID AN EPIDEMIC.

OUR TESTING SYSTEM WORKS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF HIV AND STDs THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CONTRACTED ANYTIME WITHIN THE LAST 30 DAYS.
wtf?

Seriously, I can’t even come up with one that makes sense?
