PASS has sent out a notice informing us that the production hold is lifted immediately and that filming may resume as normal.

Thanks to the diligent efforts of the affected performer and other industry partners, PASS has been able to complete contact tracing for the performer and establish that there has not been any potential exposure to the talent pool since the performer’s last negative test. The production hold is lifted immediately.

We want to commend the performer for their proactivity and assistance in working with PASS during an exceptionally stressful time. As a community, it is essential that we continue to protect the privacy of the performer, and provide whatever support and compassion we can.

Thank you to all who observed the hold and for helping ensure the safety of all performers.

PASS for those that don’t know, creates adult industry-standard testing policy and operates a digital clearinghouse for work availability data.

The PASS database only stores binary yes/no ‘work clearance’ data – meaning no individual test results are uploaded to PASS. Clinical staff with the appropriate licensure at the testing partner makes a work clearance determination based on the results from the testing panel.

• The testing protocol requires 9 different tests for 7 STIs

• Clearance is given for 14 days from the date of the first sample collection

• Testing results are typically expected within 48 hours from sample collection

• In the event of a potential significant infection risk to the performer pool, PASS is closed and production is suspended until the risk is addressed.
