You guys dodged another bullet. Being that most porn people have a short attention span and selective memory, it's back to business as usual for now but sooner or later those switch hitters and bb hookers are going to cause some serious damage.

Not sure how you guys can weed them all out, but you need to or this will happen again and again.

AIM and porn valley is actually incredibly flawed. You don't have mandatory testing for Hepatitis B or C, both sexually transmitted and both can be lethal.

It is also not mandatory for Herpes testing. We all know why that is, but a new comer may not and is blindly led into the wide world of porn herpes. Also not mandatory for HPV, which can cause cancer.

IMHO if the industry really cared about their performers, there would be mandatory testing for EVERYTHING and then let the talent choose what groups they want to work in. Giving them a false sense of security with only an HIV test is reckless, considering Hepatitis can be just as deadly. Also, if a person didn't have herpes, it should be his/her choice to work with someone who does. Same with HPV.

But hey, anything for a buck and a good nights sleep. If AIM says you're safe, then you're safe.

Having said all that, what is in place is better than nothing.
