P.S. Kudos for spreading the message of getting everyone tested.
Dean,

You aren't raining on my parade. I'm glad to see that you have always tested models. We had a thread going, which I haven't checked recently where I asked how many condom-studios actually did test models before a filming shoot. The last time I checked only Chip had responded that his studio tested all models before each shoot.

But I guess the actual facts are that by far the majority of the gay studios who do use condoms do not test, especially those that are considered the "major" which includes those that are most vocal against bareback studios.

Alex, just a thought, but why in the world would you test before a photo shoot? Unless, of course, your photo shoot involves sex between two guys then it's understandable.
