APHSS.org Adds Cutting Edge Testing to its List of Healthcare Providers
Free Speech Coalition, the adult industry trade association, has announced the addition of Cutting Edge Testing, a new testing health center located in Sherman Oaks, to its APHSS.org program.
The center is under the direction of infectious disease specialist Dr. Peter Miao. Former Adult Industry Medical Healthcare (AIM clinic) employees Jennifer Mooney and Bobi Seybold comprise the medical support staff at Cutting Edge.
“We are extremely excited to have Cutting Edge added to our list of providers,” said Free Speech Coalition Executive Director Diane Duke. “Dr. Miao is a well known and well-respected infectious disease specialist who will provide top notch testing and care for our performers. Those are critical components of our APHSS.org program.”
APHSS.org was created to fill the gap left by the closure of the AIM clinic, and to carry on health & safety protocols for adult productions. The program and availability index were developed by FSC, working with legal and medical experts, industry members and Internet technology consultants.
Cutting Edge will provide the most advanced HIV testing available today (PCR- RT-RNA) as well as Chlamydia and gonorrhea at a cost of $120 for the performer panel with an estimated 24 hour turnaround time.
“We have missed providing testing and health services to performers. After spending nine years working at AIM, many of the performers are like family,” said staff member Seybold. “What is really exciting is the quality of care the performers will get from Dr Miao – he’s the best!”
Other APHSS.org providers include AMTC and the Healing Wave Center. APHSS plans to continue to build on their base of testing and health centers including signing on centers in other cities and states. “We heard from performers, producers and agents that they want more choices,” said Duke. “Quality of care is the first priority and there are a number of quality providers eager to work with our industry. We will continue our efforts to find exceptional partners to join our program resulting in an increased number of choices without decreasing the quality of care.”
Performers, agents and producers can go to www.APHSS.org and click “sign-up” to be led through a simple registration process. Other information that is available at the website includes links to testing facilities, FAQs and contact information. Users are encouraged to view the FAQs on the website; if they have further questions, they can contact FSC.
Cutting Edge Testing is located at 5000 Van Nuys Blvd., #202, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403. Contact them at (818) 386-2132, or info@cuttingedgetesting.com.
APHSS has been a failure akin to the personal life & professional career of Ari Bass (Michael Whiteacre). The FSC has failed in implementing new testing protocal & the required use of condoms on adult film productions. They are irrelevant!
Monica Foster is one of the most intelligent women in porn but she has clearly gone off the deep end.
I’m not supporting those picking on her, but she needs help. I’m not trying to be mean, I’m seriously saying she needs some therapy after all she went through…and she needs to LEAVE the Industry behind.
Shame on you, Shelly, for hiding behind this traumatized woman just to make yourself look good. You have some good points but this is crossing the line making you no better than exploiters like Max Hardcore.
Origen — With respect, one correction: the founder of Alexandralism is not “in porn” — she was at one time in porn.
Obviously, one can’t force people to seek help, however one CAN laugh at their lunacy. Especially when they’re as malicious and vindictive as CocoLoco. No one’s picking on her — she can go away and stop attacking people any time she wants. Until then, she is fair game. That’s free speech — it’s just like pointing out the inadequacies of loons like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann or Shelley Lubben. They are public figures by choice.
CocoLoco’s tactic now is to become increasingly incendiary and insulting — it’s the only way irrelevant people who are subject to universal scorn can get attention. It’s all she has left. She has absolutely no positive, constructive or informative purpose. None. She just makes up evil and insulting shit and posts it under aliases on whatever few forums will still admit her. That’s the sum total of her life. I encourage you all once again to pay her no mind (except to have a good laugh) and to not waste your tears on her plight. She had the chance to start a new life and refused to take it.
Her M.O. may be equal parts malice and madness, but her tactics are pure PWL: everyone is a “failed” this or that. PWL contributor Monica Foster is PWL4LIFE. She’s not legally insane; she knows the difference between right and wrong; she acts with premeditation and malice — she’s just a crazy, hateful bitch. Of course, the irony of someone who has become a pariah in both porn and escorting (and has to jam things up her glam on webcam) calling other people “failures” eludes Monica.
Her statement, above, “The FSC has failed in implementing new testing protocal [sic]” is puzzling. The protocol for testing is the same as it was in AIM’s day — HIV, chlamydia & gonorrhea testing every 30 days — except now the superior, shorter-window (as low as a few days), PCA-RNA test for HIV is being used. Likewise, the protocols in the event of a possible incident or outbreak are indeed in place — and worked perfectly during last year’s Patient Alpha “false positive” scare — the only hang-up being that the Florida labs involved in the first instance were less than cooperative (understandable, since it was their blunder that sparked the whole saga). And that was when the program was only a few weeks old. Finally, if you read the latest court decisions of patient/performer privacy, you’ll see that the APHSS system is fully in compliance with the rule of law on that front.
PS, origen, what are Shelley’s “good points”?
HEY THIS IS GREAT…SORRY CAPS,,in a hurry to a adult photo shoot and busy here in LA…thanks for letting know this..ill let people in vegas see this and test there..TTS is is something else…computer crashing and too much money for ….what???
Has Monica gone off on another tangent?
I still read this blog from time to time, however I haven’t commented in quite a while. “Areyoukiddingme” is not me – but I do like their style.
Whiteacre – you’ve lost your mind from what I’ve read of you lately which is disappointing. You’ve been a very good anti-porn super activist as of recent so pull it together. It’s hilarious how you’ve kept your “pro porn” act up by stating that you think anyone who opposes you is me.
Look peeps, I’m not the only one who thinks along the lines of which I do – and until certain individuals clean up their act, apologize, atone for their misdeeds, turn in the trashy guilty parties and CHANGE for the better – their guilt will forever haunt them and karma will forever chase them.
Have a great 2012 everyone – it’s been fantastic from where I’m sitting so far – and we’re not even through the opening act yet.
Step into the light – it’s much nicer than the world of darkness.
I’m sorry Michael. Its just that I just remember Sasha Grey comparing herself to a Roman gladiator. A slave. I shudder at the analogy. I acknowledge your points but condoms are okay so long as people are safe. Safety is the number one priority and exploitation is morally indefensible. Yeah, not everyone likes condoms but everyone who wants to use them should be always given that choice.
I remember all the shit some producers used to do 7 years ago (when times were good) for the sake of “artistic expression”. Guys like Khan Tusion used to violate performer boundaries and keep the cameras rolling for humiliation. I’ll just mention the name of Max Hardcore… I guess that is where you and I fundamentally disagree. I recognize that some content can very well be obscene even if it is produced with the consent of cognizant adults. Just because people like to see it doesn’t make it okay.
Remember all the girls who got infections after doing ATM or ATP? Girls who had their pussy or asshole ripped after doing scenes? We cannot deny that the porn Industry had many of these cases and did nothing to ameliorate the general working climate (even with the presence of AIM).
Don’t get me wrong. Weinstein is an asshat. Thank you for sticking up for adult films and you are completely right in principle. But, in practice, this Industry has the potential to put performers through some extremely fucked up situations. No pun intended. And comparing industries to reveal similarities does not justify instances of exploitation.
origen — No one is saying condoms do not constitute a valid choice — I, joined by the people with the most to lose, make a different point: that this choice should not be removed by fascists who seek to mandate condoms.
As for your statement, “exploitation is morally indefensible”, what exactly constitutes exploitation? Lots of people feel exploited in their jobs, and generally those people are paid far, far less than adult performers.
Adults have the rights to make choices — even dangerous choices — of which you or I may disapprove. There are things you wouldn’t do for a few grand, and there are things I wouldn’t do for a few grand, but can we appropriately apply or project our own standards and mores to others and say that they clearly MUST have been exploited in order to have performed this act or that act for money?
I highly recommened this new Industry testing center and We have the best doctor and the 2 best employees for the facilty there! Turn around is at 11 am the next day and on we go!! So get on down there and get tested and its better than TTS and the other places. and 120 bucks!!. And testing for out of town is $139. I will be testing thru them from now on. Welcome back Jenny and Bobbi!. Rick Madrid, Las Vegas straight male talent/ contract performer for Creative artist Media Group.
I’d keep a low profile if I were you, Rick. Filming is not explicitly legal in Nevada and the only way you’d get a pass is if you go through the mob…
Okay guys, I need to come clean — I know that areyoukiddingme is not Monica Foster (although, as Cindi and I know, it’s someone of a very similar background and mindset) but I just had to provoke her into another drunken Fostard rant. And it didn’t take long either; the very night she replied here, Monica took to Twitter with her latest hilarity:
Fostard will launch an anti-Whiteacre letter writing campaign to fight porn. And get this, she sweetened the deal by adding that if you help her fight porn, SHE’LL SEND YOU A FREE PORN DVD. LOL!!!
Dear Lord, Monica Foster is the best publicist I could ever hope to have! On account of her retarded efforts — on Twitter and the blog she created in my honor — I am now known to her followers as the nemesis of ‘tards, frauds, false prophet nut cases, and scheming porn wash-outs. And it was all free! All it took was a comment on LIB!
So — my apologies, friends — I had to do it, and I hope you understand. I did mean every word about HER in that comment, except the part that indicated she was areyoukiddingme. By provoking her, I wrangled it so Fostard went out on a limb and made an ass of herself yet again, while promoting my anti-’tard efforts. It’s a win-win.
Nah, you didn’t know Whiteacre – just like you didn’t know that someone using the screen name “Cindy Spiegler” on a blog called PVVonline wasn’t me either – I just found the comment thread there of you going off.
It’s pretty screwed up Whiteacre that you diss, insult and degrade webcam models when most of the women you so desperately attempt to stay in good graces with (Such as Taryn Thomas who ironically went on the record of being pro-condom on an Arizona newscast) are indeed webcam performers.
I noticed that Julia Ann just the other day was upset about people degrading sex workers and adult entertainment industry professionals – yet that’s EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO REGULARLY.
Whiteacre – I think you need to take a nap – or maybe just a break for a little while from your efforts because you can’t seem to get anything right. My letter writing campaign that my 9000 plus twitter fans and friends may participate in, in regards to notifying the LA City Council, AHF, FSC, FBI and State of California isn’t in regards to the porn industry as a whole (afterall, I’m still a webcam performer and am not anti PORN – just anti LOS ANGELES PORN INDUSTRY until it’s cleaned up and cleared out of the illegal activity) – the campaign is in regards to YOU and your associates Whiteacre.
And yes, those who assist will receive a FREE MONICA FOSTER DVD – but again – you didn’t get it right silly – no where did I state it would be a PORN DVD (because this particular DVD I’m sending as a gift of thanks who help is not pornographic – though it is of me, Monica Foster – I’m much more than a “porn whore” ya know).
Wait a minute, if that DVD is just of you yappin, I’m gonna be fucking pissed!!!!!!!
Yeah, we know you are more than a Porn Whore. You are a Cam Whore, a Sexy Whore, an Annoying Whore, a Rubber Check Accepting Whore, an Uppity Whore and a Yappy Whore.
Monica — Oh yes, there were comments on other sites, too. I held out hope you’d find those threads, but you’re a creature of habit, Monica. You have to return to the scenes of your greatest humiliations: LIB and TRPWL. The reason you found the PVV comments is because I mentioned them on TRPWL today. Which drove you back here. Exactly like I knew they would.
The only “webcam model” I diss is you, Monica, because you’re evil and crazy. You told people to pray for the death of someone’s child; that’s unforgivable. You contributed to PWL while claiming victimhood. Fuck you.
I’m not desperate to stay in anyone’s good graces — it’s YOU who has burned her bridges with everyone in porn, not I. I talk to people in the industry every single day. Taryn Thomas has been a fried of mine since 2004, and I directed her in 2005. She lives near me in Arizona, and I interviewed her recently for the Lubben documentary. I visit her home. I know her brother, her boyfriend and her friends.
Your obsession with me, and the contents of my Twitter feed is hilarious. You really nave no life; you just sit around concocting crazy theories and creating websites about people. I think the Whiteacre site you took the time to create is hilarious. Please do more. More Photoshop images and cartoons. Go to town. I find it flattering, to the extent that one can find the obsessions of a pathetic pariah entertaining. I have no problem with it — I can always find the time to laugh at you.
I encourage you to put together one doozy of a letter for your letter-writing campaign. I’m sure this campaign will be just as successful and your and Desi’s petition drive. LOL
All you’re doing is promoting me and elevating me in the eyes of your “followers.” The people at AHF and the City Council and FSC are already well-aware of me, as are the agents at the FBI who interviewed me at length about PWL. (They also have all your emails, FYI.) I wholeheartedly encourage you to continue talking about me. Do it all day, every day — by all means. It’s free publicity, you dunce.
Why doesn’t it bother me, you ask? Because you’re clearly insane. Anyone can see it. You created a new religion — Alexandralism — and say you have been handed the 21 Commandments of Christian porn. You are nuts. If you had any credibility or any facts on your side, I might be worried, but you’re no threat. You’re a freak show; a comedy act. I friggin’ love it!
And do you honestly expect people to get excited about a non-porn DVD of you, Monica? Really? What is it then, a greatest hits disc of your drunken ramblings on MonicaAtHome? You’re obviously not expecting a lot of letter writers, are you babe, because the replication and postage costs for 9,000 DVDs could get pretty steep. It’s just another desperate, half-baked idea that I SPURRED ON WITH A FEW COMMENTS ON PORN SITES! Don’t you get it? I pull the string, and you dance. LOL I’m writing your script, you moron.
Whatever you do Monica, don’t ever change, It pleases me so knowing that you’re out there, as crazy as ever with no hope, no life, no friends and no future — dangling on a string that I control. It’s how I prefer to see you.
Go on, dance for me again…
XOXO
MW
You mean someone else here (areyoukiddingme) has come down with MonicaFosteritis? Christ I hope its not contageous!
LOL A Monica Fostard dvd thats not porn..I swear on all of your gods..I told my friend that would be her story about the dvd..Fostard has no dvd other then porn..She does have pop up book with pictures instead of words, she has no money, she cant afford a pressing on her own much less the postage to it would cost to mail dvds to all 9 of her fans.. But tard, know this, as Billy The Kid said, you who, ill make you famous..You will for ever be immortalized as the drunk retard and leading member of the DSM4
So sayeth the shepard, so sayeth the flock
im done here, im not worthy to post on the big boys blog according to cindi, so ill stay over in my world…
See ya
STFU with that uppity shit, Jerk. Take your racism back to that shithole XPT.
We don’t need that kind of talk. The only important race-related issue surrounding Fostard is the fact that she betrayed her race by contributing to a hate site that referred to non-whites as “chimps” and such. The cock-eyed legacy of Monica PWL4LIFE Foster: jealousy, bigotry, stupidity, disloyalty, anxiety and lunacy.
I figured “uppity” would elicit “that asshole” not “that racist”. Can’t people other than black people be “uppity”? This ^^^Whiteacre cat could be considered an “uppity”, with all the rabble he rouses (no offense there Mike, I’m just working this out long hand on paper). I wasn’t trying to be racist with it, just an asshole. Also, I wanted a half dozen “_____ Whore”s to go in the post. “Uppity” just rolled off the fingers.
Except for coining the phrase Coco Loco, I try and only use race terms in a positive light when speaking of Monica. Sweet Brown Suga, Fine Black Ass, and such. Race aint in the Top 5 Reasons She’s Annoying. I do throw some old timey stereotypes at her now and then, but that is just for laughter. {I think she likes when I talk about her chitilins anyway 😉 She never asked me to stop, and she is certainly free to do so.}
Coco Loco, if you are listening, I didn’t mean to bad mouth your race by using that term. If you, and your fine ass, took it as a racist insult, I’d like to offer you an apology. I was only looking to poke fun at you specifically, not an entire group of people, and not for the color of your skin.
Did you really coin Coco Loco? I commend you.
And yes, I can be quite uppity at times. It’s a gift, really.
Taryn Thomas responded to Coco Loco’s charge on Twitter tonight:
“Ur desperate 2 be in my good graces? Really? I didn’t know she knew me personally, & had the privilege to speak for you or I?”
“Give it up bitch. Find a new hobby that doesn’t involve porn. Oh wait… She’s so desperate to be in it she’ll talk about and make up ne thing about ne one who comes up quickly on a name search lol”
DOOOOOOD stop using that word (*ppity). I think I was just informed that it is the new “our word” for the African American community. Typical, really. Give them a word and they want two. If we give them 2, they gonna want a sentence. If we could cut to the chase and just give them books, it would be easier, but naaaaaah, they don’t want no stinkin books. Let the white man do all the hard shit like readin and swimmin. 😀
Yes, I believe I did initiate the use of the phrase Coco Loco. It is towards the top of my Achievements in Trolling list, on my resume. Thank you for recognizing the quality of my work. My trolling is done solely for personal entertainment, but when its value is recognized by others, it is greatly appreciated.
I think these last 2 paragraphs make it crystal clear that I am an asshole and not a racist.
Well, despite Coco Loco’s observation that I’m some kind of Israeli terrorist (LOL) I’m actually Sicilian, and hundreds and hundreds of years ago, you see, the Moors conquered Sicily….
in other news, Taryn Thomas expresses her opinion on government mandated condoms in an interview with a Phoenix news channel, and GUESS WHAT? Fostard is wrong again.
“As a performer, I prefer the government isn’t in there inspecting my genitalia…”
“I think I can speak for most of the performers: we’re not anti-condom. We’re pro-choice.”
http://www.kpho.com/story/16947472/porn-productions-may-do-more-business-in-arizona
Hmmm, on this Fox phoenix clip she says that condoms are a good idea and that AZ is “too conservative” for porn. Backpeddling once again just like when her “n1**er” voicemail to her ex was broadcast all over the internet.
http://arizonapornstarball.com/?p=278
I’m right.
When Monica Foster turns a 180 on her position on a person or an idea, it’s part of her “growth,” but when someone else gets an opportunity to clarify their position — or in this case, answer a question and not have it edited out of context — then they’re “backpeddling.”
growth, backpeddling, changing your mind, changing your stance to suit certain agendas, learning the truth, perpetuating a lie, speaking out, remaining silent…
It’s all the same and it’s all perspective.
Fortunately I’m not the mouth piece (or self designated mouthpiece) for any organization of which my actions, stance or statements make one hell of a difference. I really don’t know why anyone even acknowledges a damn thing I have to say – it’s pretty stupid.
A few things certain people (who are much unlike myself) have done have affected an entire industry – I wouldn’t want to have that weight on my shoulders for anything in the world.
Keep observing, responding, logging, documenting, discussing, writing about (and laughing) at me – it drains your time & energy – which helps put people who really have it together at an advantage of getting done whatever it is that they want to get done.
” I really don’t know why anyone even acknowledges a damn thing I have to say – it’s pretty stupid.”
Well Monica, in order for something to be made fun of, it first has to be acknowledged.
@Fartz – Precisely.
