May I ask, how did you verify the validity of that test. Or did you just take his word for it that it was a good test. I assume you're reletively new in the buissness but I dont think its wise to post on a public board that you worked with someone without an AIM hiv test. There will be performers who will refuse to work with you if they know you;'re working with people who dont have verifiable AIM tests.

For your own safety i suggest you read some of the archives of these industry gossip sites about the hiv outbreak of 1998&99. There were performers with tests from other clinics that, if you believe what you read, were forged. But I do know that TT has tested at AIM every month for at least the last five months, and many times before that. Like I said, I will at least give him credit for that.

Mandy, I would strongly encourage you to always check with AIM about any other tests you see out there. At AIM you sign a release form so they can verify your tests for someone else that you're working with. There's alot of stuff that goes around out there...Be careful, be safe, and be the best performer you can be. But nothing is more important thannot catching HIV. You know TT's track record of negligence. And don't let anyone fool you that "you'll never work in this town again" if you say NO to somebody, even tt boy. No matter how much many of us on these boards disagree on things, we all agree that not getting hiv is the most important thing. I would venture to guess that even JRV would agree with me about this. Not having an AIM test just shows how little respect of any kind that tt has for his fellow performers. The AIM program is completely voluntary, and tha vast,vast majority of performers play by the rules.But look what happened when they didn't. TT and crew go to brazil, work without tests, and then come back and infect others with HIV. PLEASE MANDY, DON'T BE THE NEXT ONE IT HAPPENS TO. THERE'S PLENTY OF WORK OUT THERE FOR GOOD PERFORMERS. DON'T LOWER YOURSELF TO THE TT BOY LEVEL AND PUT OTHERS AT RISK. THAT IS WHY SO MANY IN THE INDUSTRY DESPISE HIM. DON'T GIVE THEM ANY REASON TO LUMP YOU IN WITH THAT SEGMENT OF THE INDUSTRY.

P.S> If you can get a copy of that test and take it to AIM they have ways of finding out if it is valid, no matter where it was done. But I doubt that he would give you a copy, and you can probalby figure out why.
