This lawless agency is violently attacking and killing immigrants and citizens around the country and must be defunded and dissolved for good. Thank you for your time and consideration.

PASS 2025 Year in Review: New Testing Partners, New Programs, New Board Members & More ✅

www.passcertified.org
PASS 2025 Year in Review PASS Onboarded 2 Testing Partners! Cutting Edge Testing Rejoined October 2025 Better Life Science Joined December 2025 PASS is currently working to onboard more testing clinics & labs in 2026! In the meantime, be sure to support PASS Testing Partners near you! Some PASS Testing Partners also offer at home mail in options for industry-standard STI testing! PASS Administered a Production Hold On June 10th 2025, PASS issued a preliminary production hold due to a confirmed positive HIV test. We quickly worked with industry testing partners to retest known exposed individuals. After working closely with Talent Testing Service, all known exposed talent were retested & received negative test results. Based on the date of the performer’s last clear test & the standard window period for exposure, it suggested that there was no transmission from or within the performer pool & no excess risk to performers. After a 2 day production hold, anyone with a current clear test panel was able to resume work. There has been no transmission of HIV on a PASS-compliant set since 2004. PASS Launched 2 Programs! PASS Membership Launched April 2025 The membership program features a free tier to ensure accessibility for all workers, regardless of financial status. Membership includes exclusive event access, participation in industry health policy making, & access to apply to the PASS PSF. Performer Subsidy Fund Relaunched July 2025 The PASS PSF now fully covers the cost of an industry-standard STI test panel for up to 10 people each month. This relaunch was made possible thanks to a substantial investment by Brazzers. PASS PASS Launched Our Very 1st Peer2Peer Fundraising Campaign! 2025 P2P FUNDRAISER PASS Contribute to help us reach our goal, & you can earn free testing! givebutter.com/PASSP2P25 PASS Elected 3 New Board Members!

Newly elected PASS Board Member @rubylynne.bskyverified.social spoke with Nookies. ✅

Read full Q&A: blog.nookies.com/2025/12/17/r...
As a PASS Certified board member, what’s the one safety rule you’re fiercest about protecting for performers? The rule I’m fiercest about is protecting the integrity of our PASS testing protocols—because safety isn’t optional, it’s the foundation of our entire industry. I will not compromise on timely tests, verified results, or transparent communication. And when something does go wrong, I’m just as relentless about incident response. Performers deserve immediate support, clear guidance, and zero fear about speaking up. This isn’t just policy to me—it’s a line in the sand. If we don’t protect our performers, nothing else matters. - RubyLynne, PASS Board Member

Today is World AIDS Day. 🗓️

To learn more about HIV, U=U, & HIV stigma, visit passcertified.org/hiv-stigma
December 1st is World AIDS Day For those living with HIV, stigma can reduce people’s quality of life & has a negative effect on overall health. Shame, isolation, & fear that comes from stigma can drastically affect the well being of those living with the virus. For those not living with HIV, stigma increases the risk of transmission by reducing access to accurate information that keeps people safe. Stigma can also increase fear & anxiety about contracting the virus. In addition to this, stigma can inhibit conversation around sexual health. If HIV is not openly discussed, it puts everyone at risk. PASS
