Just as a matter of personal curiosity, how long after the blood is drawn does it take for AIM to make its test results available?

Tia, do you find the extra expense worthwhile for a non-AIM clinic to take your blood, then have it shipped out for diagnosis?
That is, I gather you have it done so the test results are ready for you when you’re wherever you’re scheduled to be...right?

Well, in Ohio Aim uses Labcorps to draw for the most part. They have some labs that come to you and draw but it's more expensive, so cheapest option is going to labcorp. Then they overnight to LA to be read thru AIM or for AIM. They then email me a link to view the test, print off, or whatever i need to do. Some producers can view online, some can't ... so I bring a copy either way.
Do I find the extra cost worth while ? Well, It's the only option if I'm planning a trip, so yes. Do I think it's way overpriced ? Yes, It is ... lol ... but welcome to the world of "you have no other choice." I could wait til i got to LA if shooting there and get tested, but too last minute for me. That would drive me nuts going out without a test already in hand. Plus, simple fact is that you never know if some dude passed something like Chlamydia on to you the previous trip until getting retested. Someone has a one night stand and passes it on ... then you get all the way out to LA and can't shoot. Girls quite often show no abnormal symptoms from Chlamydia so it's hard for us to know without testing, especially that soon after being infected. Hazard of the Biz. Funny thing is you pay all that money for testing and they don't even check for Herpes, HPV, or Hepatitis. There is a service called Talent testing services, which i'm told is a little more affordable and is being accepted by alot of companies and producers ... but not sure. I haven't tried them.

LabCorp I think is who we have here in Fort Wayne, too. I imagine that’s pretty standard wherever they’re available. I had my first test done in a fucking hospital back in Jersey. That sucked, very awkward.

When you go to a Labcorp location, your blood is tested at a Labcorp facility. They do not ship the blod to AIM, they ship it to the nearest Labcorp Testing Facility that does the PCR test. Not all Labcorp testing facilities do PCR testing, so sometimes there is a two day shipping process before the lab actually gets the specimen, and even then, some of these facilities only do the test on two days of the week. That is what can cause a delay in Labcorp test results. In Los Angeles AIM uses a lab caled Westcliff. Westcliff picks up the specimens everyday, and run the tests that night. Results are usually at IM by noon, but then AIM has to put those results into the system that some producers have a password for. Same for the results from the Labcorp locations. take a close lood at those results the product=ers have on that database. Somewheere pn those results it says iether "test perfromed at Westcliff Lab/or Labcorp. regarding the price, AIM is the least expensive place in the entire United States to get HIV pcr tests.
talent testing Service is actually a Laboratory in Florida that used to draw blood for AIM. A few years ago they dicided to run the test themselves so they had to create a seperate buisiness to procure the specimen. They have no middleman, and they do NOTHING for you if you test positive for gonn/chlam. they tell you to go to your own doctor to get a prescription. They offer no counseling, and their is NO DOCTOR on staff. They are merely a company that procures specimens for the Lab that runs the test. Notice how the TTS results do not have the name of the lab that performed the test. A violation in several states, including California. Why they are allowed to continue doing this is beyond me. The fact that they use the word "Negative" on their result should also raise a red flag. The proper result is "Not Detected.
Here's a puestion for the industry. What will TTS do if someone tests positive for HIV. Answer....NOTHING. They inform the patient and then say good bye and good luck.

Lou,
Its not my fault youre a cocksucking faggot. If it upsets you that other people know about it now that tought shit for you.
As for you other guys, sorry if I try to be very detailed when posting the facts regarding these issues. I know the facts in fantasyloand are not always welcome, but I wil try to be more brief in the future, as it is obvious that reading anything longer than two sentences is too much of a problem for you fags.
And Lou, how is George L. doing these days? You must be elated that he moved back. Slurp.

Here’s an idea you simple snatch...’cuz maybe Florida isn’t one of those alleged states where “it’s a violation”? Could that be a possibility...hmm.
Electro....treasure!

That may all very well be true about TTS ... I really don't know anything about them except that a producer in town uses them quite a bit. As far as price goes, I've heard of people getting pcdnr tests thru their doctor for less, but I suppose it doesn't really matter since Aim is the only option for Talent.
I recall now Aim mentioning the possible lag time for the results, though thru labcorp because of their testing procedures, etc. However, it's never taken the possible 7 - 10 business days they mentioned. Always done by friday if I get drawn monday. Now that i've said that , though it'll take 10 business times next time i get drawn ! lol

How do you figure? I know talent who does or has gotten tested by LabCorp here in Indiana and they take that valid test result with them to LA / Florida for filming. As you said yourself, it sure beats waiting an awkward period of time in CA where you can't work if you could only get your bloodwork done through AIM...?
You can get tested anywhere at any labcorp but you have to pay for it thru aim .... then they send you to a labcorp. You can't just walk into any labcorp and get a test. Plus, If it is not purchases thru aim any major company in LA will not shoot you. In Fla you can get Talent testing I believe with alot of companies .... and I'm told some in LA .... but it has to atleast be AIM or talent testing at the very least. I'm sure there's some non licensed small company shooting in LA that will take any test .... but most companies will not.
