HIV/STD Test

[grimbo772000]

Hi. I'm a male, new to the industry, will be participating in a boy/girl shoot in few weeks time. Need to get tested. What is the name of the test, what do you get tested for, how much does it cost, how long does it take for results to get back. What do you get? Is it a letter or certificate. I know where my local GUM clinic is. Any help/info would be most appreciated especially by actors/actresses in the industry.

I believe there is a NHS Sexual Health Clinic in London near Kings Cross/St Pancras Station. I may be wrong. Someone here will put me right!

It's cheaper on the NHS as Private charge around ?100+.

However, it depends on where you live?

Just a quick bit of info for you grimbo - all producers I know, myself included, will not accept a text message from the clinic as proof of certs being done. You will need ID and full certificates from the clinic, so spend out on those please or you will find it difficult to get work.

This is standard in the adult industry and applies to all models, both male and female.

Good luck.

i had the test at my local GUM they where very rude and refused to give me anything in writing

You need to be up front - tell them that you want it in writing, and why.

Some will do it, (but usually charge) but a lot won't. Moral grounds I think.

In some clinics I've been told that it's up to the Doctor and if you get the wrong one, you're stuffed.

Hence most people trek to London....
