Hi Kenny,

The test certificates currently issued to talent in the UK are indeed a matter of concern.
Whilst there are a bunch of problems with the current talent test certificates in the UK, the biggie is most definitely the use of forged certificates.

ALL test certificates currently issued by the commonly used clinics can be convincingly forged, the easiest can be edited in Word whilst competency in Photoshop makes short work of the hardest.

You may wish to know that Regent's Park Clinic (aka DoctorCall) are actively working on providing a testing service geared up for the needs of the adult industry.
I, along with a few other producers and talent are providing consultancy to help them to fix what is wrong and add what is missing.

Authenticated certificates are already being worked on with custom paper and embossing planned for originals and complex coloured backgrounds and date-stamped overlays for electronic copies.

Other items under discussion are:
- An industry focused web site offering factual medical information, ranging from an introduction for newcomers to detailed and accurate info of specific matters as they relate to talent.
- Online system to permit real-time access by producers and talent to view test results when granted access by the performer.
- Standardised pricing structure
- And a bunch more stuff

If you would like to know more, please give me a call.

Kisses,

Joanna Jet
