"Even more worrying if it is in the industry is how soon this is after the US cases and how soon we forget and go back to relative busines as usual!"

From what I understood most companies in the US they took a 60 day period for more clearification. That is, the major and respected ones.
Unfortunately, there were still US companies fleeding to the former East European countries like Czech, Romania and so on, even pretending not being US based, to keep their bizz going to make a living/more profit. And European based companies were (bizarrily speaking) not unhappy with the situation in the US and started producing to take immediate advantage of the businesswise temporairely setback in the US.

Normally the clinic will trace all contacts. Discretely and of course offering appropriate advice.

No.
First posting, no email contact addy.
The clinic in question does have patient confidentiality, so they will not ( or should not) even discuss individual cases with anyone, even the BAIHA.

Normally, Normally, they should of told us!!! nobody told me!!! when will the Models take responsibility for their own health and livestyles? let alone have to think about the Actors they are working with on their shoots???? Normally the girl/guy you pull at the weekend would never consider a HIV Test let alone a STD Test. But I'm not here to be judgemental just honest were r we going wrong & what can be done?

I agree with this post Connie. HIV/STI Certs mean absolutely nothing if since being tested the model has had unprotected or unsafe sex. If they are carrying, the disease may not show for 4-6 weeks. (I know you all know this already, sorry.)

The only solution to the whole issue of sexual health in the industry is for models- male and female- being more aware, and more professionally-minded when it comes to how they behave in their private lives.

Connie, like any industry anyone trying to get in to it should do their research. The clinics doing the tests often do and certainly should ensure you are fully aware of all risks when they know the test is for the adult industry. However it is not their responsibility to ensure you know what you are getting in to...it is yours.

Conjecture and supposition seem to be the dish of the day.

Lets just stick to the facts, Kim who are you and where did you hear this from? At this stage a reply would prudent as you started the speculation.

Hi,

I don't know about everyone else but I have also heard this HIV Rumour and I know someone that heard it from the horses mouth The Indigo Clinic!
They never said who it was obviously and just said that everyone involved has been contacted. This however I don't think possible due to it not being made more public. I know that for one if I was in this unfortunate mess I would be the first to come forward and say that it was me so that we can sort this whole mess out and then we can start making lists of 1st generation and 2nd generation and so on and so on....
