	Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation is an organization which tests erotic actors for AIDS on a scheduled basis.
		This led to the creation of the Foundation which helped set up a system in the U.S. where erotic actors in the adult film industry are tested for AIDS every 30 days.
		The Director of the AIM Health Care Foundation, Sharon Mitchell, a former erotic actor, left the industry to qualify in public health counseling and sexology before setting up the Foundation in 1998.

	Public Statement - Condoms and the Adult Film Industry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Second, we applaud the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation for its ongoing leadership in promoting the sexual and emotional health of sex workers and of all the individuals who work in the adult entertainment industry.
		As a consequence of these revelations, we are reminded again that across the industry, performers in adult films are paid more to work without using condoms, or work less or not at all if they are so bold as to want to protect their own health.
		The adult film industry can have a tremendous influence on public and personal health by normalizing the use of condoms in adult film fantasies and thereby promoting their use in the real world.

	AEGiS-WashBlade: Gay porn industry not impacted by HIV scare: Straight adult video studios voluntarily halt production ...
		Officials with the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation, which was created by the straight porn studios, said the foundation provides HIV testing to about 1,200 performers in the industry once a month under mandatory rules established by the studios, the New York Times reported.
		The foundation identified Laura Roxx as the screen name of the female porn star whom he infected when he returned to the United States to continue his work on porn films.
		The gay porn industry adopted its mandatory condom rules in the mid- to late-1980s, Montgomery said, at a time when gay men as a whole were hit by the AIDS epidemic.

	HIV probe obtains names of porn actors / L.A. officials say 53 had sexual contact with infected pair
		Health Department officials said the list of legal names, as opposed to stage names, would make it easier to track down both the actors and anyone outside the industry with whom they might have had sex.

		On Tuesday, the county's public health director, Jonathan Fielding, wrote Mitchell a letter saying his department was "initiating an official investigation of this outbreak" to limit further spread of disease.

		In the adult film industry, the increased potential for HIV/STD transmission is associated with basic practices, in that workers have multiple sex partners during short periods with whom they engage in frequent and often prolonged sexual acts.
		By comparison, an analysis of a nationally representative sample of young adults aged 18--26 years during April 2001--May 2002 revealed prevalence of chlamydial infection among males and females to be 3.7% and 4.7% respectively, and, similarly, prevalence of gonorrhea to be 0.4% and 0.4%, respectively (5).

		The call for a halt to filming of sex scenes without condoms was made by the Sherman Oaks-based Adult Industry Medical Heath Care Foundation, which listed on its website about three dozen actors who may have been exposed to the virus recently, and urged them to get tested.
		Jonathan Fielding, director of public health for Los Angeles County, said that although the porn industry in general has been diligent about screening actors for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, the root problem is the continued practice of unsafe sex.
		Roxx is a relative newcomer to the industry, health advocates said, and appears to have performed with only two or three actors before testing positive on Thursday.
