Such a shame.  It could have been so good.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Maybe someone from COYOTE would be willing to help? Does it really need to be a safe sex organization that moderates? Anyone can call a doctor and ask a question!

But that just frankly sucks. They didn't have to delete everything anyways, there was already a ton of info there. How rude!

Well that sucks...where do I go to get tested now?

I don't know how many "Sharon-we-love-you!" messages you guys deleted (I confess one of them was mine but just how overwhelmed were they with TER posts? It didn't strike me as there being THAT many questions.

Granted there were some very direct requests for medical facts, clinical studies and other literature citations that seemed to be dismissed by the AIM staff. But after all, what did they expect? A sizeable % of TER members seem to be *educated* and intelligent people unlike say ... the adult industry folks they're used to dealing with.  

That's no SLAM on porn stars btw! I love you all (the female ones that is)  You're just as vital to our society as doctors and lawyers. Infinitely more so than the latter.

messages about health issues.  There are many informative threads and responses in General board about various aspects of playing safe.  A number of members are quite knowledgeable about these issues.  They have either provided their valuable insights or included links to articles of studies and new info.

The only problem with the current arrangement is that it is not that easy for a casual member to find all the relevant messages among the various threads in this board.

TER boards are largely self-policing.  Questionable info disseminated in a message are often quickly challenged by other members.  Other members could make up their minds after reading the different POVs.  I am not sure a moderator with health background is needed.  If a carefully crafted disclaimer is placed at the top of a health board, I don't think there would be much problem down the line.

Despite what AIM tries to present themselves to the public, given what happened here and the info about Sharon Mitchell's supposingly indifference in the Brooke Ashley case: "Sharon Mitchell was supposed to have been the one who made sure that everybody got tested. She never checked Marc's. What made him so special?" - http://www.lukeford.com/stars/female/brooke_ashley.html , JMHO, they still maintain the "live for today and forget about the future" mindset of the porn industry.  Their childlike act of deleting all posts is just disgusting.

BTW, Staff, please check to see whether any member was placed under moderation by AIMHealth due to their complaints or (argumentative) messages.

Thanks.

That sucks

Thanks for providing the info and the outlet. AIM dropped the ball.

I'm amazed they didn't realize that within a month they would have answered just about every question and could refer to previous answers.  To me... with little effort they could have produced quite a few good results.

Oh well, guess they're too busy now.  Maybe someone with a better handle on this will step up to the plate.

Hiv/Aids testing program. I know thet offer testing but I don't know what their operating proceedures are, ie appontment required, walk in etc. They really know their stuff. I know as I am a former client and former employee.
I even sugested to the staff that they approach TTC with the idea of taking over Aim's breach of responsibilty.

you can reach then at TTC.ORG, or (818) 998-1061.
