We are aware of a situation in which someone attempted to work with a fake test. This person was never cleared in our database, anyone who is caught forging a test result is permanently banned. We commend the model who did her due diligence to confirm the accuracy of the test.

Hi friends! We already exist ❤️.

We are aware of the reports of increased STIs in the industry. We have not called a production hold as of this tweet. We will be issuing a statement and holding a Twitter Spaces later to discuss, and will give an ETA as soon as we have one.

Hi industry folks - we created a short survey to get more information on the recent increase in chlamydia and gonorrhea among adult performers. Your responses will be completely anonymous. Please respond and share!

STIs can happen to anyone who is having sex, just like the flu can happen to anyone who is around people. We should take actions as individuals and as a community to mitigate disease, and we should help those that are harmed by it. Shame is a losing strategy.

In an abundance of caution we are calling for a precautionary production hold after learning that a performer, who had not tested with @PASScertified for several months, tested positive for HIV. At this time there does not appear to be a threat to the performer pool. Statement ⬇️

📣📣📣Los Angeles! As of today, sex workers of all genders are eligible for the monkey vaccine. We’re working on a second clinic, but you can now make an appointment at any vaccination site in the county:

If you are having sex, there is no way to 100% eliminate the risk of STI transmission. Our 14-day testing policy was created because testing more frequently than that has little additional value.

⚠️ALERT⚠️ We have received reports of multiple positive syphilis tests with potential exposures across Europe. We are working with our partners in both Europe and the US to assess potential risk and will keep the community informed as we learn more.

Every positive test result is a public health victory - meaning when something is found, it can then be stopped from further transmission. Getting tested, getting treated, and informing potential partners is an act of care for your community.

Hi folks: to clarify, we have not added swabbing to standard testing guidelines. We do strongly recommend them. We are working towards standardizing swabbing, but we need to solve access issues first. What we will not support is people being denied work for requesting them.

✅PRECAUTIONARY PRODUCTION HOLD UPDATE✅.We ask that ALL production, whether studio shoots, independent productions, or content trades—please hold while we work to eliminate risk. We expect to have more information by end of the day tomorrow (8/25/21).Thank you for your patience.

If you know you have a transmittable STI, you should not have sex.

However, even with the right precautions you can't always know you have an STI. It takes courage for someone to inform you that they may have unknowingly exposed you to something. That information allows you to protect yourself and others. It should be commended.

When PASS Medical Board met Tuesday, the meeting centered on Mgen. Mgen is a unique and challenging infection that doesn’t respond to testing and treatment in the way that we’re used to, which means we need a more comprehensive solution. We are still evaluating available data.

“I started in adult film as a black listed ‘crossover’ talent. I loved porn and the people in it from the start, but I didn’t like the homophobic and transphobic stigmas I faced. I built my own production company called Pervout in hopes of fighting the stigmas with capitalism.”

Companies who choose not to require swabbing are doing so against our guidance.
Hey @PASScertified @FSCArmy swabs are required to shoot now correct? If so, why aren’t companies enforcing it? I’m just confused, cause I have some companies saying I need them and others say it’s up to the talent.

PASS periodically calls production holds if there is a possible HIV exposure within the adult film community. Production holds are an important part of the safety protocols in adult film, but does not signal an actual on-set transmission, nor a confirmed positive test.

Always use PASS to authenticate that your scene partner’s test is real, wasn’t altered, and is within the 14 day period. PASS can’t be forged and it’s free. Also make sure to sign up for the Performer Subsidy Fund! Thank you @mindgeek for making the PSF possible.

In short: there is largely no need to worry about Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum - they are commonly found in healthy adults. Problems typically only arise when an overgrowth of bacteria occurs - like a yeast infection.
