Mike South posts at www.mikesouth.com A Lot of you have been asking. I have a LOT of info I am sorting through and compiling but here are the basics.
AIM IS CLOSING
Everyone there pretty much bad mouthed AIM, even Jeffery Douglas, who made the most retarded comments of the day stating that the biggest threat of HIV comes from outside performers coming into the biz, not from gay crossovers.
He also said that of all the Positives that The LA Times posted over thirty of them were people NOT in porn who tested at AIM. There is NO WAY that is true. if you do the math AIM would have to test many many thousands of people NOT in the industry to catch 30 + positives.
One performer noted AIMS history of false positives for STDs and suggested that TalentTesting was far better.
The FSC is trying to organize talent into a “network” or “Organization” they specifically avoided terms like union or guild. Talent is expected to pay to be a part of this. This will include a network of doctors for testing and a new database that they continually pointed out would have “Mistakes” at first. Testing will be priced as low as they can. And all of this should be up and running in 2-4 weeks.
