As far as moratoria, the FSC is failing at that. If an HIV test pops positive for an active performer, all production needs to stop for at least 30 days (two test cycles) and those on the first and second generation lists need to be kept from working in a sexual role for 60 days (four test cycles). Anything less is risking another infection. Producers need to teach talent to run a camera, be a PA, whatever to give them some income while they are out of sexual work and on a first or second generation exclusion list/infected with HIV/AIDS and not able to do sex work any longer. Obviously the FSC has fucked this up since they took over monitoring, looking out for the interests of producers over talent — since their job is to lobby for producers of course they are going to make the moratoria as short as they can get away with (their moratoria have averaged only three days — not even enough time to get those on the first and second generation lists into the lab for testing).

As for Shy Love, she can go get fucked up the ass an AIDS infested Brazilian transsexual hooker, take transsexual cum straight up her ass and get AIDS! There is a whole backstory to that of which I won’t get into too far here (the TL, DR prevention version of it is she got Mike South sued giving him false information, he decided to get out of the journalism business shortly thereafter and this site was sold).

mharris127: You write: “once someone has a verified HIV infection that person should always be flagged somehow on the TTS system as well.”

The problem is, TTS doesn’t have a “system” at all, beyond test verification. And the long delays in reporting positive tests should be alarming to anyone.

“As for PASS, my big problem is who is administering it — not the existence of it itself.”

Yes, a rational person can take issue with FSC and still recognize that the PASS system is the best thing the biz has right now.

And, to be fair, at the time AIM went kaput, there was no other entity in existence who was willing to come in and do it. It was FSC or LATATA, and LATATA members had a direct financial stake in seeing performers get back to work as quickly as possible. Seriously, would you want Shy Love deciding when it was time to call for or end a moratorium?

That is, potentially, a catastrophically bad suggestion.

With PASS, if a person has ever been diagnosed with HIV they are barred from the PASS performer pool forever, regardless of whether a test shows their infection to be “undetectable”.

TTS will simply issue a test saying that their results are undetectable, and a performer can use that to secure performing work on non-pass-compliant shoots.

What if that performer stops taking/forgets to take/runs out of their meds and books a shoot on day 27 of their 28-day test?

Note also that, during the last HIV-inspired shutdown, in August, TTS waited 18-24 hours after discovering the infection before contacting FSC.

I call these issues significant safety problems inherent in relying on TTS alone.

As for “Chris Rowe”, he deserves to take Maitresse Madeline’s biggest strap-on in and out of his ass until it gushes blood, his asshole tears open so far that he is never able to hold his shit again and has to wear Depends for the rest of his life! Of course since he had to forge a test he probably has AIDS and the clap anyway (why the hell else would someone forge a VD test in the adult industry) so maybe Madeline better hold off on shoving her strap-on up his likely AIDS infested asshole pending a real VD test.
