There was much discussion about AIM not making the positive result public, and the industry only learned of it when the producer who used the infected talent tried to accuse AIM of giving the person a clean bill of health. As a result of the publicity, OSHA began looking for the employer who used the infected performer. In their efforts to identify the employer, they attempted to get information about ?patient zero? from AIM. AIM refused, and patient zero filed a suit against AIM and OSHA from seeking information about her. Patient Zero was successful, and an injunction was put in place against OSHA and AIM from disclosing information about her.

there is NO employer, the woman got infected in her PRIVATE life before becoming a performer

They want to force your company to take the blame if a performer in one of your movies contracts an std without any evidence that the illness was acquired on your set.

actually I do NOT have contracts with the performers I use however the agencies DO, any financial or other liabilities are the responsibility of the agency CONTRACTING the performer..... think about that for a bit.
the agencies have had a pretty good free ride for some time now with responsibility, now they can all STEP UP. if an agent wants a model UNDER CONTRACT, let them cover health cost, social security, unemployment tax and all the other BENEFITS that CONTRACTED EMPLOYEES have.
when mike diamond sends a smell good plumber to my place to clean out a drain, I am NOT responsible for payroll taxes, unemployment, health insurance etc... that's on the company CONTRACTING the plumber.... mike diamond. why would I be responsible for any of this??? I have no legal contract here with anybody...

Has the company that hired patient zero reported the workplace exposure of HIV to OSHA, as is required by law? Exactly what is AIM?s protocol for handling HIV positive patients? Is there a written policy at AIM, and are the talent, who they are supposed to work for, aware of the protocols?
The bottom line is AIM is not concerned with patient privacy. For a monthly donation any porn company can get a password that gives them access to every performers medical records, not just those that they hire. This is in clear violation of the injunction won by patient zero, and the LAW that states that every single third party notification requires written consent from the patient that includes the NAME of the individual to whom the results are being given. Now AIM is raising the rates for talent to get tested in order to help protect the identities of the employers who should be paying for the tests in the first place.
The fundraisers AIM has scheduled have nothing to do with helping the talent. AIM, and agents (LATATA) are also telling talent that they do not have to give any information to anyone who contacts them about their positive std tests. One can only imagine what would happen if a performer named their employer. This is ALL about protecting the producers from the financial responsibility of the diseases that are contracted in their workplace. Read the articles on the AIM website for yourself.
DON?T BE FOOLED. AIM has raised prices on the talent to cover the legal bills to protect producers. It has NOTHING to do with performer privacy,They will give your medical information to anyone who says they are in the adult industry. If you know a performers real name you can call AIM and they will tell you their test result over the phone. SO much for privacy and HIPPA regulations. It is about protecting producers at all costs, and those costs are being paid by the performers. Performers need to tell AIM to not spend their ?donations? to pay legal bills to protect producers.
