by shear fluke faye and myself stumbeled upon a place that finally offers PCR DNA testing in the uk. there may be some more places but this is the first ive heard of this US technology being available in this country which is great news.
it is expensive at ?150 a throw but money isnt the issue really is it!. the dr in charge of this practice is very keen to assist in the adult industry and is willing to offer discounts if a bulk of porn/adult workers will attend for the screening.
so cum on guys and girls. put ur money where ur mouths are. i have full details of this place - there are several sites around london. i will also be speaking to agents on monday with details so they can spread the word.

There should be a donation facility via bgafd.co.uk perhaps. I'd contribute.

thats a very nice thing to offer guys. if we can get the cost down a little tho i really do believe that most models can afford to get a monthly test done.
PCR DNA testing in a nut shell - cos i dont know all the techy terms for it all means that instead of the usual 3 month window period for HIV to show present in anybody - which lets face it, in 3 months u can sleep with alot of other people, putting them at risk too.
anyway...with PCR DNA it shows in 2 weeks reducing the risks greatly.
theres probably other advantages but im not a dr and dont want to start quoting things i dont know about.
i just hope all the other models will be willing to forkout to show there responsibilty and dedication to the job. i know my next test will be of this kind and then perhaps i will stop being called the 'disease ridden smelly pee girl' of the industry! (dont worry, its an 'in' joke)

why not send the info to the mods so they can add it to the industry resources in the Miscellany section?
