hepatitis testing In Porn...Now THERES a Can of Worms

from http://www.mikesouth.com

Talent testing has announced that starting on July 7, 2013 they will begin testing for Hep B and Hep C as part of the standard STD screen. Both AVN and XBiz dutifully reported this but nobody asked the real questions here.

What if a performer tests positive for Hep? Will they be listed as unavailable for work in APHSS?

Also whats interesting to see will be who DOESN?T test. I know for a FACT that there are performers who have HEP C and are working regularly. Speaking of those performers did they read about what happened to Mister Marcus? Was that a shot across the bow to them? If they know they have HEP and work anyway they could be facing criminal prosecution. is that why Nacho Vidal is suddenly pro condom?

I commend Sixto Pacheco for this move, don?t get me wrong this IS a can of worms and it is high time it was opened and CET had better follow suit.

Assuming they do there?s gonna be some A list talent out of work very soon.
