Porn industry STD testing clinic that was implicated in horrific privacy breach shuts down; files for bankruptcy

Posted on May 3, 2011 by Dissent

Dennis Romero reports:

It has been a saga much more juicy than any of porn’s non-plots. Nearly three months after reopening as a private entity, AIM Healthcare, the clinic that tests adult performers for STDs, has shut down and filed for bankruptcy, industry sources confirmed to the Weekly.

We were told a privacy lawsuit challenging AIM’s handling of patient records was the last straw for the clinic that was taken private and reopened in February following a December shutdown at the hands of state and county health officials.

Read more on LA Weekly.

Previous coverage on the breach and security and privacy concerns can be found here.

This clinic should never have been allowed to operate without being brought under HIPAA privacy and security standards, and I’m glad to see it gone.

Hat-tip, @PrivacyMemes
