LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Performer Availability Screening Services (PASS) announced that it has added Aphrodisiac Wellness, a new sex worker-owned and operated testing service in Los Angeles that caters to the adult industry.
Aphrodisiac Wellness launched their first location in downtown Los Angeles at the beginning of last month, offering a PASS Certified testing panel, which includes swabs, for $185. The testing service was started by a team of current and former sex workers and performers, Kenzie Anne, Skye Blue, and Lenore Black.
“As someone who dealt with constant health concerns while in the industry, I’m excited to be delivering a reliable place for my fellow performers to stay educated and get results quickly at the best possible prices in the market,” Aphrodisiac co-owner Kenzie Anne said.
“We have been in conversation with Aphrodisiac Wellness for a long time, in which they’ve been meticulous about making sure they can meet the needs of our community,” said PASS Executive Director Ian O’Brien. “It has been wonderful to work with folks who already have intimate knowledge of the industry and have experienced firsthand the challenges of testing, and it shows in their product. It is typical for new testing partners to experience a few bumps in the road when they first launch, but their first month has gone swimmingly.”
Aphrodisiac guarantees results by 9am the next day. The company also offers a mobile testing service for $240 (or $270 for same-day appointments), in which a phlebotomist will come to your location for testing anywhere in Los Angeles County.
“We wanted to keep the performer the priority and being able to offer mobile testing is going to revolutionize the way we see our normal testing,” said Aphrodisiac co-owner and adult performer Sky Blue. “For those who are stuck on set to those who may live too far from a testing center to want to drive, it’s going to make so many people’s lives easier.”
Performers and other content creators can book an appointment at Aphrodisiac Wellness’s downtown location, or with a mobile phlebotomist, online at AphrodisiacWellness.com, or text 517-402-7422.
