New Testing Facility for Adult Performers
JustGetTested.com Offers Confidential Testing
JUSTGETTESTED.com Offers Confidential Blood Testing Specifically for Adult Industry
Individuals are sole owners of their medical information
SAN FERNANDO, CA (July 13, 2010) ” Amidst recent concerns in the adult entertainment industry regarding confidentiality and ownership of medical information, JUSTGETTESTED.com is stepping up efforts to inform the industry that all blood tests are kept strictly confidential and are accessible only by the person ordering the test. Results are available within 24-48 hours and can be obtained only via a secure server and with a confidential password. An adult industry specific profile has been developed to best meet the unique needs of the industry.
According to Edward Salko, D.O., medical director of JustGetTested.com, confidentiality is a matter of federal regulation and must be adhered to strictly.
“The federal government has provided protection for individuals to be able to maintain privacy with their health information through the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,” says Salko. “Our business model is based on adhering carefully to those standards and assuring that the only person with accessibility to data is the person ordering the test. They can keep the information or share it as they wish. We are simply a provider of medical information.”
Salko is concerned that adult entertainment industry workers will avoid being tested based on fears that their information is not confidential.
“Anyone working in the adult entertainment industry is at a higher risk for contracting an STD,” says Salko. “Frequent blood testing can greatly reduce those risks for the entertainer and anyone with whom he or she has sexual contact. There has to be an option for affordable and confidential blood testing to help stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.”
JustGetTested.com is a confidential, secure and affordable online blood testing resource that allows customers to order their own blood tests without an office visit. The medical research team has developed an adult entertainment industry specific test to comply with industry standards. Customers can order the test, pay online, and go to one of 1,700 convenient LabCorp locations. There are multiple participating locations in Southern California, the state of California and throughout the United States. For more information, go to www.justgettested.com.
