And still years later the "gay" side of the industry still doesn't test for anything, let alone AIM is almost purely geared towards actors and actresses in Los Angeles and the surrounding area (even with their moves towards off site blood samples). With a growing industry within California with new growth centralized in San Diego and Frisco, issues will certainly arise with STD testing in the near future.

I've heard numbers ranging from 3% to 70% (or higher) of the active "gay" stars having HIV; its only a matter of time with the growing number of actors and actresses working both sides of the industry let along the explosion in tranny scenes and the growing popularity of bisexual scenes that an outbreak will hit the straight side of the industry in the next 3-4 years that will be traced back to lax testing in the "non-straight" side. I don't necessarily see this as an issue for AIM itself, but for the greater industry itself.

I really can't fault AIM with their use and emphasis on PCR DNA testing over Elisa testing for HIV; their prices for PCR testing are quite reasonable and the benefits of PCR testing are incredibly higher compared to other testing methods. Sharon does deserve kudos for that.
