quote "If you leave outside London, so what, you just have to plan as models in London have to to get a test here.
Can we stop with all this "I can't because" or "I don't live in London" there are clinics all over the place, yes some are better than others, but have you told them WHY you need the test and the certificate?" quote
I have told my local clinic why I need the certificate and I STILL get a loud NO from them regarding certification. I have to use devious methods of visiting two different clinics 40 miles apart alternately so that each one thinks I am only asking to be tested every six months! I also agree with their disapproval because why should I take advantage of free testing under the NHS? My alternative is to travel to London which I just cannot afford to do. The testing alone would not be a problem but when you add the train fare and other expenses it doubles the cost.
While I am all for safeguards in the industry, like Jack I feel that before changing the status quo a suitable infrastructure should be set up to deal with the problem. It is obviously much easier for models who do live in London, although even there I think there will be a problem with getting the appointments in time.
So it looks as if I will be withdrawing from the professional scene because I am certainly not going to work at a loss! It will be interesting to see what sort of impact these proposals will have on the porn scene in relation to the numbers of male and female models available and the fees demanded.
