I voted no.

1) You'd have to be tested within 30 days for every visit, which means even the first visit. How would you know whether the club was worth that additional expense 'till you've tried it out?

2) Would the club do the tests in-house, or would you have to (or be allowed to) have the tests done elsewhere?

3) Even supposing outside test results were accepted and accurate, that's a lot of people handling my personal medical information.

4) Even supposing in-house test results were accurate, that's STILL a lot of people handling my personal medical information. And quite possibly a HIPAA violation in there somewhere.

5) Tests, even if accurate, are only good for the day they're taken. While the going theory is that folks who test regularly are less likely to have any STD's, it's still just that--a theory

6) Are people who test positive going to be turned away? Can we say privacy laws, discrimination, and legal nightmare?

7) What about the legal liabilities of someone claiming that they felt "safer" going to that club (ie implied guarantee) because of the testing policy and they contract an STD and sue?

No, thanks. I know the risks, and Mr. Sweet and I will make our own decisions about them.
