Turns out I’m years behind on posting this story as what I’m going to tell you about actually got FDA approval years ago and has been on the market since 2004 nationwide.
Orasure is marketed and FDA approved mind you, a rapid HIV diagnostic tool with over 99% accuracy. In short you swipe it in your mouth (it uses saliva instead of blood) and gives a test result, much like how a pregnancy test does in 20 minutes.
The product retails for about $25 to $35 a piece but wholesale can no doubt be purchased much cheaper by producers.
So here is my question … why isn’t having a test like this on set an acceptable alternative to condom use?
Hell they even have combo packs that test for for Chlamydia, Cytomegalovirus, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Herpes types 1 and 2, HIV, HPV Genital Warts, Rubella, and Toxoplasmosis.
These combo packs cover more than the current industry testing does and there is no fear of faked tests because you could do them right there on the set in less than 20 minutes! You could know right there, on the set before going in to shoot a scene with 99% level of accuracy is the guy you are about to blow has HIV or of the girl standing next to you has genital warts.
The more I read, I found out there is also a HIV piss test.
HIV home testing is easy with these kits. With these HIV tests there is no need for blood – instead one drop of urine is required. These HIV tests might be the most accurate on the market – Three different studies have shown 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. HIV test at home and get immediate accurate results.
If testing really is that easy, that quick and that accurate, why the hell are these test kits not on every porn set?
What am I missing here? What am I not understanding?
No longer do you have to wait days to get test results. You don’t wait 30 days between tests. You test every time you make a movie, while on the set so there is never any question about your results.
Surely there is something I am not understanding, some reason why these kind of tests aren’t required. Why would you wait 30 days between tests? Know for sure right now if some bitch you are about to fuck has herpes or genital warts. We already know that HPV is rampantly spread among performers, which vastly increases your risk of cancer as well as infertility. So with these kind of testing you would be able to to know for sure and avoid performing with someone who tests positive for HPV, herpes, chlamydia.
These combo packs are far more extensive in what they test for. They are readily available and can be done on the set.
So again what the hell am I missing here? I just don’t get it?
