If you're a producer performer or sex worker on any level in the adult industry then the SWISH clinic will be of interest to you. It is more than just a place to get your STD tests.
This recording was made at a UK Adult Producers meeting in 11th July 2014 where guest speakers like Lee Brooker attend to raise awareness to their services
The SWISH (Sex Workers Into Sexual Health) project provide a range of services and advice to sex workers from counselling, legal advice and housing. They even act as a voice to consult on legislation and are very knowledgeable in all things adult industry.
Some names and organisations are mentioned in conversation that may be of use. SWISH claim that if they can't help you then they can steer you in the direction of someone who can and were very helpful with advice on making the illusive "centralised testing" a reality should anyone want to resurrect the project.
Additional info:
