I presume this will work on the assumption you've already had HIV 3 months already.

The Terrance Higgins trust will do HIV tests for free & same day results, I'm not really sure on their view of Adult Performers though.
It's only HIV 1 & 2 so not full certs as required for the safety of fellow performers.
A lot of people will test & be able to give results back the same day for the HIV 1 & 2 but these aren't full certs as only testing for one thing.
