Subject: HDK Begins HIV Testing of All Models

Last Vegas, NV: Hot Desert Knights, Inc. (HDK), the leading gay bareback production studio, announced today that effective immediately all HDK models will be tested for HIV and other STD’s. All testing will be conducted through the auspices of the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM).

Dr. Sharon Mitchell, Executive Director, of AIM said, “Myself and the AIM Healthcare Foundation are extremely proud of HDK and Mr. Bill Gardner for taking this ground breaking step in the area of HIV, STD prevention education and screening. AIM is enthusiastic about this relationship and are available in all 50 States. AIM has been providing the Adult Industry HIV and STD screening, medications and counseling for over a decade, and are delighted to be serving the Gay Industry in Body, Mind, Emotion and Spirit”.

According to Bill Gardner, president of HDK, “We are alarmed and shocked at the proliferation of new bareback studios, especially those from overseas, who are using increasingly younger models without providing any counseling or information regarding STD transmission to these models. It appears as if these studios care little for the health and safety of their models”. Gardner went on to say that, “After a number of discussions with Diane Duke, Executive Director of the Free Speech Coalition (FSC), regarding this trend of using younger models and taking more risks in bareback films, Ms. Duke introduced us to the Ex. Dir. Of AIM, Dr. Sharon Mitchell. As a result of these meetings with Dr. Mitchell and Ms. Duke, HDK concluded that it is possible to test models and provide a safer workplace while still maintaining our models privacy rights”.

In a statement from by Diane Duke of the Free Speech Coalition, “FSC's role is not a regulatory one, but rather one that provides information and resources to assist adult businesses to make responsible decisions for themselves, the industry and industry professionals. We applaud Bill and HDK's willingness to participate in this discussion and to implement policies and practices that protect performers at Hot Desert Knights. We hope to facilitate similar discussions within and among other adult entertainment businesses”.

In addition to HIV, Hot Desert Knights will also be testing for Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Hepatitis A, B&C. HDK will then sero-sort accordingly.

Gardner concluded by saying, “We are happy to take the lead as the first bareback studio to provide testing and know that by doing so we are providing an environment of safer sex for all of our talent. Sexually Transmitted Diseases, other than HIV, can cause serious health problems for the talent in our industry and many STD’s can be acquired by the various sex acts performed in front of the camera other than anal sex”. “For that reason, we urge all gay studios to consider testing all models for STD’s if they truly wish to provide a safer sex work environment”, stated Gardner.
