Hey, Tony,
Glad to hear that you consider viral load when serosorting HIV+ individuals. I don't claim expertise in the area, and I'm sure you have more knowledge than I about relative viral loads and the risks associated therewith.
However, the whole problem with putting negatives with negatives is you have no way of knowing they are in fact negative because of the latency period. So I don't see how, unless you are doing virus titers on each negative model in addition to standard testing for antibodies, that you're addressing the latency period, and therefore keeping the models safe.
I realize that the majority of your models are older than ours, and therefore, (in theory, at least) better able to make informed decisions about whether or not to participate in barebacking (on or off camera.) I just talk to soooo many people that don't seem to really understand how real the risk of infection is as a result of the latency period. I'm sure that your process includes a proper explanation... I just know a number of, ahem, studios who are more ethically challenged who don't take such precautions.
