Default Re: AIM Irresponsible? AIDS Rampant in Calif?

I'm pretty sure that AIM can't be all "SO AND SO HAS POSITIVE TEST!" 'cos it's illegal.

And, frankly, that's not the point of AIM as I understand it - the goal is to make sure that all performers have access to regular testing so when they show up at a shoot, they have the most current available tests to prevent an epidemic-level spread where possible.

Having said that, no tests are foolproof, and when one uses one's body as one's livelihood, there are levels of wear and tear one will expect - and part of that will be the fact that a performer can be carrying HIV without being positive on certain tests and a scene partner always has the potential to be at risk.
