PASS is partnering with CLEAR to offer free Chlamydia and Gonorrhea testing, including oral and rectal swabbing, to adult performers in LA and Miami.

Over the past few days, rumors of higher Chlamydia positive results from Cutting Edge Testing (CET) in Los Angeles have arisen. However, an investigation by PASS found that these results are likely due to newly added oral and rectal swab requirements, leading to previous clearances of the bacteria. This elevated positivity rate could not be confirmed by other testing labs with larger sample sizes or across the entire testing population.

To side with caution, and to ensure the safety of performers in the industry, PASS partnered with CLEAR to extend free and discounted testing options to performers who wish to confirm their status.

“We are grateful for our partnership with CLEAR. It is an incredible asset to this industry to have a testing partner respond dynamically to community need. We are also thrilled about their expansion into Los Angeles and what it means for our industry.”

CLEAR has been operating a testing facility in Miami since August of last year, and just opened its newest location in the heart of Northridge, just outside of Los Angeles. Both locations will be offering three-site Chlamydia screenings free of charge over the next several weeks.

“Our mission is to make testing more accessible to the adult industry while providing a superior customer experience. We are excited to extend our reach into LA, and that will help folks get tested sooner than later whether they can afford it or not.”

In addition to the free Chlamydia screenings, CLEAR will be offering the full panel at its new location in LA at a reduced price of $179 – a $229 value. Performers can create an account and book their test by visiting app.getclrd.com and using code PASS at checkout. Both locations offer the Ct/Ng panel free of charge with the code, and the LA location offers both the free test and the discounted full panel.

CLEAR is the only PASS-certified facility in Los Angeles and Miami and was also at the forefront of identifying the European strain of Chlamydia in November of last year.
