@mikestabile

Are you saying that PASS approved providers lose more tests than other providers?
Are you saying that when they lose a test they report a scarlet x vs no report? I’m trying to wrap my head around how they report a scarlet x on lost reports…if they lost the test/report then how are they reporting something they no longer possess as a reference?

@jilted

Then it didn’t happen to a porn performer it happened to the general public whose rates are exponentially higher. SMH…do people really believe porn, escorts and prostitutes are segregated vs a subsegment of the general public?

@mikestabile

That was open mouth insert other foot…so it doesn’t say every performer with a scarlet tested positive, it says our approved providers have a dismal compliance rate with standard testing protocols?

Yeah I’m sure that’s something Jilted can jump right on with irrefutable data and stats. Btw do you know that for a test to pass FDA it has to demonstrate consistent near perfect results when processed correctly…so if PASS is getting an inordinate amount of inconclusive and false positives then perhaps it’s time to reconsider the affiliate provider process.

Tell that story to someone who doesn’t know how to read data, studies and associated footnotes.

Lmao…are you seriously offering a copy/paste of one of the numerous FSC posts that made me decide I had something to offer when it comes to policy? Keep in mind…my offering it in no way implies you or anyone else is obligated to sign on.

With that said, my experience with policy proves that no political party or organization is exempt from corruption on some level or another. At any given time those being called out for corrupt behavior are screaming ‘conspiracy’ as a way of deny, deflect and distort the issue on the table.

So anytime you or anyone from the FSC is ready to put the bullshit rhetoric aside I’m ready to talk to them about pursuing barrier free protocols using LPL (lowest permissible level) and varied response to varied threat levels…just like every other American industry.

My stance on equal rights means they don’t get excluded from work, nor do they have a ‘I’m special and unique’ ticket exempting them from workplace labor rules. Employers need people to do the job…employees need employers to make a living.

For anyone who thinks I need to STFU…and let porn do their thing….I’ll STFU when porn stops their rampant viral media efforts to demand regulated compliance from Banks, Doctors and every other profession/industry they attack.

LOL Shouldnt that be the FUA list,,,Frequently Unanswered Questions.

And what is the PASS protocol when someone tests positive for Hep C. I guarantee you that one aint on the FAQ(FUA) list? And nobody from FSC will EVERY answer this question. I wonder why?(not really)

I’m just posting what’s already on the FSC FAQ list. I’m not claiming any special information here. But yes, let your imagination run wild.

What happens when a performer goes to a non industry clinic and tests postive for something, like syphillis, or HIV? Or should I say, “What happend WHEN an active performer went to another clinic and tested positive for HIV?

LOL THe GOAL isnt to see if anyone was exposed,,,,,the goal is to test the people who WERE EXPOSED.

The FSC does NOTHING to inform people they WERE EXPOSED. That would require the testing facility to be giving names to FSC and PASS, which they do not do. OR, are you saying the testing facility is giving NAMES to the FSC. I am sure again, Sixto Pacheco and CET would be very interested to know that the FSC is being given the names of people on the infected performers contact list,,,,,a CLEAR HIPPA violation. LOL,,,dude, the more you talk the deeper you dig.

“During a moratoruim production stops” Another laughable statement, and a policy with less enforcement than an OSHA regulation.

LOL “Fairly common for tests to be lost” Really, fairly common? As a clinical lab employee for decades, I can say unequivocally that this statement is absolute bullshit. I am positive that this would be pretty shocking news to Sixto Pacheco and CET. Fairly common, LOL.

“Inconclusive” We had a less than 1% inconclusive in my seven years at AIM, actual number about 10 per month. The only inconclusive HIV results I ever handles turned out to be positive after retesting, with a new specimen, and these were very early detections.

If youre dealing with a place where it is fairly common to for tests to be lost, stop going there, immediately.

Performers tests used to be done

And we’re back to BENGAZI!

From the FSC Moratorium FAQ:

What happens if a performer tests positive for HIV?
If an active performer tests positive for HIV, a moratorium is immediately called and the industry immediately halts all production.

How are moratoriums called?
The doctor at the PASS facility that conducted the test checks to see if that performer has worked on adult film since 2 weeks prior to his or her last negative test. If he or she has, the doctor alerts the Free Speech Coalition, and the Free Speech Coalition calls an industry-wide moratorium. Production is halted while everyone can be retested to make sure no performers are exposed to the virus.

What happens during a moratorium?
During a moratorium, film production stops while doctors work to determine if any one else was exposed, and to establish a genealogy of the virus.

All performers who have worked with or had sexual contact with the positive performer prior to performer’s last negative HIV test are tested and retested. In some cases, third generation partners may be tested as well. The goal is to immediately figure out if anyone else was exposed to the virus and to stop any potential on-set transmissions.

The HIV Positive performer is interviewed to determine the timeline and 1st generation partners. If the performer had sexual contact with other performers off-set, the PASS doctors and FSC will work to make sure those people are informed and tested as well as any other individuals with which the performer had sexual contact.

*I don’t know why I even bother responding. I know this is only going to launch another conspiracy thread* #ReadyforHillary
