When compared to sexually active adults between 18 and 24 (a group that traditionally shows high disease burden), the gonorrhea and chlamydia rates for performers are 8.5 and 16 times higher.
I agree, and from a business perspective it would made a lot more sense for the industry to be proactive on this. Knowing that there are occupational risks and ignoring them is a pretty shitty way to run a business. The fact that someone can show up to a shoot with fake tests and continue working is pretty amazing.
