As the industry expands, Healthcare in porn has become a serious subject for obvious reasons. We’re talking about how models and performers protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections, and how studios look after the well-beings of their models. Jonah Wheeler recently got the scoop on safe-sex practices from Amy Loel at the GayVN Awards.

“Everyone is putting their bodies through a lot of stuff for their fans, and so it’s ‘how is everyone being taken care of?'” Loel explains.
Sage Health offers next-day STI test results as well as weekend testing in the Los Angeles area. Loel says frequent STI testing is especially important in the adult film industry and it’s easy to see why she’d think that: Sage Health is PASS Certified which means they adhere to elevated testing standards for sex workers.
While Sage Health only does testing in Los Angeles, they are working on opening additional clinics. (You can learn more about STI testing in the adult entertainment world by visiting Sage Health’s website.)
If you’re trying to remember the last time you were tested, it’s probably time to get tested again. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a helpful tool to locate free or low-cost testing facilities. Just follow this link and then put in your zip code to find testing sites near you.
