All REOs utilize industry standard STI testing panels provided by a select handful of approved providers. Results come back lightning-fast, often within 24 hours of the sample being taken. These panels are typically only accepted for 14 days from the date of results.

These tests take the following samples:

• Urine

• Blood

• Anal Swabs

• Vaginal Swabs

• Oral Swabs

These tests are, in many ways, more thorough than what you might find at a run-of-the-mill check-up, and the results are incredibly fast. 1-2 days compared to 1-2 weeks leaves less room for error and less time to potentially jeopardize the results with new/untested partners.

It is common knowledge that when performers are tested, they abstain from untested partners. Failure to abide by this standard can mean anything from cancelled shoots to industry blacklisting, depending on the severity of infraction. All performers and studios take this requirement very seriously, as performers are regularly putting their body and health on the line and it is of the utmost importance to maintain a baseline of good health.
