"the reason almost everyone wanted to keep AIM ..."

Who is everyone? The people at AIM? I can tell you that there are many people that want an additional testing centers.

No one is perfect but AIM screws up alot of tests. From loosing tests and telling talent the tests came back inconclusive... to giving out the wrong tests to talent.

"would it just have done the test took the money and said thankyou"

I don't know why I am being attacked here but I can tell you we would not charge $110 at a non-profit organization for a test that costs $50. $50 for a HIV tests has been quoted by a few people. They use to have just DNA HIV tests, then brought out gonorrhea and chlamydia because it was a good idea and free. Then when it was decided to be required, it wasn't free anymore. They started charging for it brining the price to $100. As of April it is $110

Tracking an outbreak would not be a problem with multiple testing centers if everyone worked together. If someone had a problem with that, I would think they are more in it for the money rather than people's safety. I in fact suggested opening a testing center before AIM did, but I was 19 at the time and my father didn't take my suggestion seriously.

multiple clinics...

Simple economics... competition and supply and demand...

There is no reason why a number clinics cannot operate under the auspices of a single organisation that merely deals with the administration of a database...

As in almost all private monopolies, profit is king and such is the nature of business that year on year people measure successful performance on the level by which profits have increased... A monopoly can inflate it's prices safe in the knowledge that the consumer has no alternatives... Introduce competition and there is (atleast in theory) SOME LEVEL of control...

Of course - there is the spectre of "price-fixing" and behind the scenes deals... but in any business with a monopoly there is always the likelihood that the consumer isn't getting a fair deal.

Hey Jim be cool I only visit 4 or 5 times a year, you are on the ground, We Brit's have a different view on things. For example in UK it takes more than two people to make an epidemic, we usually go for 10 upwards. In UK we don't cross gender our movie productions, if an actor got caught ball watching he would get problems with the rest of the crew. We as a race have only just joined the hard-core industry although a few of us have been sneaking it out to the world for over 20 years.
We are known as Island Monkeys cause we are hairy and live on an Island but we are catching up with the US market I for one have bought one of these new video cameras to replace that old 35mm wide-gate pani-flex I have been using.

Now is not a time to start abusing or name calling someone like Sharon, I know many people dont like her but who cares, she is doing a good job, ok they make the odd mistake like who does not, Ok they charge 100 us seems cheap to me, we pay more and the girls earn less.

Look at the real, life, man, honest facts...Darren goes to Brasil (wake up Darren, I have met him a few time he never seemed naive) he claims he never new the risks (possibly he never, A hard cock or a hungrey belly never thinks strait anyway) I feel so sorry for him, his life in any true sense is over, He passes hiv on to one girl (as yet to confirm) thank god (and I mean that) its only one(so far). Everyone gets well excited they all panic, punters(buyers) send me mails claiming to be terrified, Sharon get the hit with a big stick.
Seems to me you could commend her get involved with her, maybe work for her then start a testing center under her wing.

Can see what is so wrong with what you have, I have tested in Indian Aplolis of all places and NY so you do have other centres, just the big producers/distributers/AVN prefer her,,,,, why.....

It worth mentioning US has the worst state heath system in the civilised world. We are very fortunate here ours is probable amoung the best.

Regards to you and respect, it must be trying times in LA. I expect it will affect EROTICA LA.
