From the Indigo Clinic

Dear All,
we have been reading the posts about the rumours of someone in the Industry being tested HIVpositive. As many of you have pointed out, the Indigo Clinic cannot pass on specific information or peoples details as the confidentiality of clients is protected by law.
However, now that this has become an issue, we will confirm that we have had a performer test HIV positive. We are attemting to contact ONE person in the Industry who we believe MAY be at risk from this performer. We cannot pass on the name of the person who has HIV or the contact.
Please be assured that we are working very hard to deal with this situation and have been doing what we can to limit the problem.
We would like to emphasise (as we do to everyone who attends this clinic) that it is important that performers see UP-TO-DATE certificates from reputable clinics before they work. It has been pointed out on the thread that certificates are never going to be accurate as people are always in the Window Period - this is why monthly checks are so important as this at least cuts down the amount of time someone may have been positive before they find out.
If anyone wants to arrange an HIV test please contact us on 020 8846 1579
and mention the Indigo Clinic
best wishes
