PASS Launches Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Campaign to Strengthen its Health and Safety Infrastructure for the Adult Industry
[Los Angeles, CA] — [11/07/2025] — PASS Certified, the adult industry’s trusted health and safety organization, has officially launched its first-ever Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Campaign to raise $50,000 in support of its ongoing work to protect and empower performers. The funds will help sustain critical STI testing infrastructure, expand performer support initiatives, and strengthen PASS’s role as a leader in sexual health advocacy.
What PASS Does
Originally developed by the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) in 2011 and operating as an independent nonprofit since 2021, PASS (Performer Availability Screening Services) creates and maintains the adult industry’s testing standards and manages a digital clearinghouse for performer work clearance data.
PASS works with licensed testing partners across the U.S. and Canada to provide standardized STI screening, ensuring that all adult industry professionals have consistent, safe, and verified work availability data. The PASS database never stores personal medical results—only a simple “yes/no” clearance that allows performers to work with confidence and privacy.
Why PASS Matters
In a highly interdependent industry, one performer’s health is everyone’s health. PASS serves as the self-regulatory body ensuring that testing, education, and safety standards remain high, current, and inclusive. In the event of a potential talent pool risk, PASS initiates immediate Production Holds—pausing filming to safeguard the entire performer community.
Through its Medical Advisory Board, composed of volunteer public health experts, researchers, and industry workers, PASS establishes evidence-based protocols for STI testing, emerging infectious threats, and performer wellbeing.
