Production Hold: FSC Issues New Update, Still Looking for 2 THL-Tested Performers

LOS ANGELES — Industry trade group the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has issued another update to the current mandatory production hold, reiterating its call for information regarding performers who tested through Talent Health Labs (THL) network since January.

This is the text of the current FSC update:

The mandatory production hold called on Wednesday, March 17 is still in effect. We do not believe there are any active cases of syphilis or HIV in the talent community, but need to clear all talent who recently tested with THL before we can lift the hold. 

So far, everyone who has retested has been cleared. A few others are testing today and Monday.

However, there are still two performers who have not responded to us or rescheduled retests. One has an active test in PASS, the other does not. The sooner we can reach and retest these people, the sooner we can lift the hold.

If you tested with Talent Health Labs (THL), please read the criteria below to see if you might be one of the people we need to speak to.

  • If you tested with THL in the beginning of February but have not yet tested at another PASS-certified lab
  • If you tested with THL in March

Please email us at pass@freespeechcoalition.com if you believe you are one of these people.
