Are you are master forger??

This is the challenge for all you Photo Shop experts, simply find a document, any one will do, scan the doc into photo Shop or whatever and then change one detail, a date, place, it could be anything.

Now post both documents here and let us try to decide which is the original and which is the forgery.

The best forger gets a "Dime Bar" courtesy of Jimslip.com!

I hope someone gives it a try, if not, i will and I'm crap at Photo Shop, because I'm sure, it can't be that difficult and will prove once and for all, that on-line documention of any kind is untrustworthy.

That could be classed as 'restrictive practice' and deemed illegal if any other private clinic were to make a complaint.

I don't know how this would be working here, but in LA it is the actual laboratory that posts the information online, not performers or producers themselves, guaranteeing authenticity, and taking no more time for performer, or producer to upload their own tests, as it's done straight from the lab.
Over there, there is 0 chance of a forgery test as the LAB posts results, not an idividual.

Even here in the UK, many of the private clinics send the swabs to the same labs. There are many places to go to get tested but the number of labs that actually look at the samples is much less...meaning that alot of people's swabs will be monitered in the same labs regardless of which clinic they use, meaning that in theory, it could be easier to track results direct from the lab, without restricting where people can test...

In my previous post I didn't make it clear that it is not even AIM that post test results, they are only responsible for taking the samples, and then sending them to the lab. The lab then post the results on their website, a totally independant body from the adult industry.

Certs are classed as medical documents and as such are regulated under law.

It's doubtful if UKAP would have the authority to store, let alone display, these documents.

It took a major HIV outbreak for the US to get permission to publish results, it just seems a real shame that people so sceptical about something that's for the good of our health. It's not some trick. I think Terry has come under some very unfair fire, whether you agree with him or not, he is just trying to do something which he believes would benefit us and he is getting shot down for it.
For me HIV is a reality, and it's even more of an issue for people RECIEVING anal sex. You only need to look at the outbreak in LA where 1 male caught it and passed it on to several women. What if when he found out he was too ashamed to tell anyone? (Like the Mark Wallace case where he carried on working with HIV) Those women may not have found out, and could have gone on to pass it to more people... that can't happen if the results are made available to people in the industry.
Having friends who actually caught HIV through doing the same job as me, and many of you, is very close to home. I was in LA whaen that happened. If it wasn't for the database exposing the results, possibly me, or more of my friends could have unknowingly worked with a positive person. Until you go through that highly tramatic, and stressful experience, I don't think you can fully appriciate how useful the database is.

Donkeywork, cut and paste it on UKAPs general forum. I dont share Sam Slaters view that this should be open to fans as ultimately it is a producer/ model issue (unless of course you run a clinic or a lawter giving free advice of course)

Its been proved here already this just doesnt work as the personal attacks are designed to get in the way of the real issue at hand.

Isabel, Adam and Keni, thanks for coming through and to all those who came to my defence by email thank you very much for showing your appreciation and support for what I am trying to do.

Work is in progress now.
