First of all, I don't think getting your blood drawn five times a week is a problem.

When I was in college, I was a guinea pig for a study at a local hospital. I got my blood drawn 50 times in one week, and to tell you the truth, it was no big deal.

Second of all, people don't have to work 5 times a week. I'd call that insane, and doing damage to a body, presumably the body of an 18 year old girl.

If people need to work twice a day, they wouldn't need to get tested twice in one day, it seems to me. That would be silly.

As for the ability to detect viral diseases, technology is always evolving, and improving. Soon there will be a test that can detect Herpes from taking a skin sample- uninfected. It's only months away.

As for companies not wanting to bid against AIM, that's crazy.

Shit, if I had the money, I'd put up a company to bid for that contract, and I wouldn't care about what anyone says about me.

You come at this from a very negative viewpoint, which is odd, since you claim to be a performer. I always find that odd about you.

We're at odds, I guess. I won't get into porn since I could get a disease, and you don't want a stricter regimine that might be tough to get used to.

Shit man, if I had a choice of getting my blood drawn 5 times a week versus Herpes, Chlamydia, Hepatitis C, Gonnorea, Warts, and Syphillis...I'd surrender my arm in a fucking second.

Or, maybe it wouldn't have to be an arm...can't a nurse draw from in between the toes?

Anyway, yes, it wouldn't be a bit 'inconvenient', and yes, there are some diseases that are harder to get results from quickly than others. However, when it comes to DOSTAR (Day Of Shoot Testing And Results), the need, I think, will propel the cure.

I'd be happy to get my blood drawn 5 times a week to know I'm disease free.

I'd also be happier watching those lovely, recently graduated 18 year olds, knowing that they're not getting hurt.

Once upon a time, a man dreamed of making a city in the desert. Of course, there was no fresh water there, and the wells wouldn't last long. So the man dreamed of creating a long, long pipeline, like a great big straw, that brought water down from the mountains, far, far away.

Everyone said he was crazy, too.

And now you live in LA, and don't even think about it.
