The Performer Availability Screening Service (PASS) is an initiative by the Free Speech Coalition to standardize and track medical testing for sexually transmitted infections among American porn performers[1], founded in 2011. On February 1st 2024 PASS announced they would start certifying studios and production companies as well, tracking among other things their observance of testing practices and honouring production holds.[2]

PASS works with a list of medical clinics they have certified, a database of performers' test status, as well as support systems in case of severe infections like HIV. The result of individual tests for infections is not disclosed to the database, only whether the performer is cleared for production or not. PASS will also inform performers if a clinic has detected an outbreak among those tested, and recommend a production halt in certain cases.

PASS certified screening centres can be found in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Miami.[3]
