I'm not sure what the big deal is here. If Joe Shmoe gets tested and is then told he has HIV, then his test is no good. At that point, Joe Shmoe does not have a good test, and is not allowed to perform. He cannot provide a clean and current test.

Isn't that the point? If that happened 10, 12 or 16 times over the past 5 years, then that's how it went down. Where is the conspiracy?

You want the testing facilities to post Joe Shmoe's name publicly? Why? He did not get a useable test result, so he cannot provide a clean test to producers, so he is not a risk to a production company who is properly checking tests. Isn't that the goal?

If a huge deal was made for every positive HIV test rsult, and potential talent was called out publicly (for no good reason), then how long will it be before people begin faking non-AIM test results, rather than risk the chance of getting called out publicly, should they fail?

I have many problems with AIM (no hepititis, no herpes, etc), but WTF?

What am I missing here?
