Now lets think of how this effects the adult industries plan to halt an HIV outbreak. AIM could be legally prevented from disclosing the medical records of a performer/patient unless given a waiver. So AIM could obtain a positive test and be legally prevented from disclosing that information to the industry unless given permission by the perfornmer that tests positive. Only an absolute monster would try to hide a positive HIV test, but it is possible. AIM would then be forced to either break the law or watch helplessly as an HIV positive performer attempts to work.
True, AIM may not legally be allowed to disclose a positive test, whether HIV or otherwise. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't AIM simply provide the test results to the performer, who in turn must provide the test result to the production company on the day of the shoot?
I was under the impression that AIM is solely a testing facility and was not in the business of disclosing test results to the industry as a whole, rather to the individual.
Venereal warts, by the way, are contagious, but fortunately they are easily treated.
