LAS VEGAS — PASS and SpankChain are hosting a free performer/creator happy hour in Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 17.
The private event is open to adult performers, and includes a two-hour open bar sponsored by Spankchain.
PASS and SpankChain “hope to use the event to help performers in Nevada connect, as well as raise awareness for their free Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen) testing initiative,” a rep explained. “Mgen is a sexually transmitted infection whose incidence may be increasing, but is seldom included in STI testing panels. It is easily treated.”
PASS partnered with SpankChain and TBD Health to launch the Mgen testing program in April. Performers in Nevada and Florida can access free Mgen testing and, if necessary, treatment. Testing is available at TBD’s Las Vegas clinic, or through an at-home test kit.
PASS Executive Director Ian O’Brien said, “We wanted to have an event where we could have fun and throw free tests at people.”
"The number of health threats our community has had to deal with over the last couple of years has been exhausting, and it is wonderful to be able to do something more lighthearted while still providing people access to care," he continued. "SpankChain has our continued gratitude for their dedication and support for this issue."
Participation in the testing program is not required in order to attend the event. Performers who wish to attend the happy hour can sign up here. Location details will be provided closer to the event date.
