No thanks to AIM
So When AIM stated that April 29th was her first test, they lied. Because she has worked in the industry for quite a while. Or maybe she has worked years without a test, which I find unlikely.
So that goes back to AIMs strategy of whom they consider to be a direct exposure. They would have to test all of her partners since 3 weeks PRIOR to the April 29th test to cover the possibility that she was already positive at that time but not testing positive.
AIM would have you believe that the 22 positive tests since Darren James were ?civilians? and/or people wanting into the industry but not being allowed because they tested positive.
NOT SO says the LA Times as well as my sources. AIM does almost no testing of civilians and almost all of these positive tests were active performers, some in gay porn.
NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, API, UPI, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and even NPR have all done stories on this and every one has cast AIM in a bad light, very bad.
Performers are furious with AIM for putting them at risk and not telling them. There is talk of boycotting AIM and AIM tests.
The local health authorities in Los Angeles have repeatedly said that AIM refuses to be cooperative, as they have in the past.
Pretty much everyone now knows that Sharon Mitchell does not have a Phd from any accredited school, and is not a doctor.
AIM is saying the producer director lied about calling them and getting a green light and that they made no mistakes, but they wont release his name and they have reportedly threatened him with legal action if he talks. They have also reportedly threatened the performers if they come forward.
At this point it seems as though one of porn?s most sacred cows is now slaughtered.
What will take its place is any ones guess but Im hearing that L.A. County is going to take over, issuing permits to performers that are in congruence with what prostitutes must do in Nevada, weekly testing for STDs and such. Much more stringent that the current methodology in porn. The state may pass legislation as well and Cal-OSHA will be all over compliance.
If you think California cant afford it think again, they will see this as a profit center.

Some pretty stong allegations, Mike, especially when you say AIM lied --are you making these as an individual, or as a journalist/www.mikesouth.com?! If you are proven correct, your future postings and opinions/sources/accusations will rightly gain increased readership; but, if you're wrong, aren't you afraid that some folks will steer away from your site, and some GFY folks might write you off as loud-but-irrelevent ?
I've asked you twice in another thread about your "reporting" that the male talent involved was "threatened" by AIM--again, for the third time, please tell us if the "threat" was threatening action by AIM, or whether the "threat" might actually have been caring-counseling that the individual needs to be sure he doesn't get in trouble with LA County/CA/USA if he releases medical info that is unlawful to release (in which case, it's not really an "AIM threat", but merely briefing/counseling---right?).
Kayden and Matt might not be the only sources you should depend upon -- care to name your sources so that we readers can feel good about your postings?
Good luck!
