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]
