Hmmm... this is all giving me too much second thought on every considering a tranny scene. Perhaps its not worth the risk. At all, even with a test. That sucks


Yeah – even if the tranny is well-meaning and not hooking or screwing around outside the tranny porn industry, just working in that environment makes it tough. Good intentions aren't enough and just having a test doesn't necessarily say much if they regularly work with untested partners.

I can imagine one possible way you might do the tranny thing: time the tests around the shoot rather than just take some 29-day-old test result. I have not seen such data but I bet there scientific estimates on how well the PCR and anti-body tests work at short intervals (a scale of hours or days) after infection and the odds an infection can be passed on at that time. I don't know the terminology to search for such things but maybe you can.

It may be possible to say something like “if a Monday anti-body test and a Tuesday PCR are both negative, a Wednesday shoot might have acceptable risk.” It also assumes you can lock the tranny in your basement for a day or two so they're not out screwing around getting infected after the tests.

It's a lot of hassle & expense and not something you'd do very often, but for a one-time thing to check that fantasy off your list it might work – but only with a lot of thought, and only to YOUR standards, not to what a tranny performer or tranny director is used to doing. It would probably be best to be a scene you shot for your website to make sure they weren't blowing off the safety issue, intentionally or otherwise.
