I haven't really read this topic but I get the gist of the idea after having many discussions with various performers about this idea. I appologise now if what I am about to say has already been said!

I think it's a fantastic idea to see performers results online. A great way to know EXACTLY who is clean of infections, who isn't and when.

Here is an example of how this online database can be really effective:

If someone was tested on Monday and their results come back positive and they are then working on the Tuesday, their tests will be online for everyone to see that:

a) they are working on an unvalid cert (possably an old one that is not yet out of date...?)

and b) they are not to work with this performer or anyone they have worked with since being tested positive.

One worry I do have is that I used to go to Medi-Lab every month for my tests. The reason why I stopped using Medi-Lab was because I was serously worried for my health! Although I was having blood and urine taken, that was all! No swabs were taken from the mouth or back passage and I had no examinations done! I was paying ?120 to Medi-Lab for a blood test and a urine test and I was still unsure if I was safe and clean! I could have had an infection in my mouth or back passage!

After discussing my problems with the gorgeous Miss Cate Harrington, she told me all about her G.U clinic that she uses for her certs. I now go to my local G.U clinic, I pay ?25 and I am thoroughly checked out every month by swabs in every hole I have, I have blood tests, urine tests AND I am also currently having my Hep B injections FOR FREE to make sure I never catch Hep B (Medi Lab told me I would have to pay ?100 per injection for Hep B! How ridiculous)!!! The service at the G.U clinic is incredible and they are always there to help and examine you if you have any worries or questions about anything at all! Medi-Lab was useless!

So may I conclude this by saying: Yes I agree with the online database, but I only agree if we can use clinics such as the G.U clinics where we know performers are being thoroughly checked out.

i have to agree with katie, ive had problems with medilab too, which is why i now go to conifer house, they always do bloods, urine and swabs not to mention they ask alot of important questions and i feel they really care about my health . maybe we should all praise the good clinics and comment on the 1's we have had trouble with , so we can make sure all aproved clinic's will be good 1's but please lets not get into anymore arguments every1 is entitled to there own opinion and we will all of had different experiences, so lets stop the bitching and respect each other opinions even if we disagree xxxxxx
