This Week on Adult Site Broker Talk: Jamey Bell of PASS

Jamey is a board-certified Nurse Practitioner and is the Medical Director of the Sexual Health Program at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, billed as “the largest facility in the world providing health and social services to the LGBTQ+ community.” He also serves as Medical Director of PASS, the non-profit organization dedicated to the health and safety of adult industry workers.

A staunch advocate for sex workers’ rights and safe and accessible healthcare for people in the adult industry, Jamey joined the board of directors of PASS in 2021 and was appointed the organization’s Medical Director in September 2023.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare focused on “social justice in healthcare among marginalized populations,” Jamey “combines clinical expertise with compassion and caring for his patients and community,” Adult Site Broker Talk added in the announcement.

Jamey holds master’s degrees in both Nursing and Community Health, graduating with honors from Ball State University in Indiana. He is board-certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

The Free Speech Coalition created PASS in 2011, building on a previous program to help standardize and monitor adult industry testing.

PASS began operating as its own organization in May 2021. PASS partners with organizations that conduct STI and/or other infectious disease testing in the United States and Canada, who then report work clearance data back to the PASS database. The PASS database only stores binary yes/no “work clearance” data, meaning no individual test results are uploaded to the PASS database. Clinical staff with appropriate licenses at the testing partner make a work clearance determination based on the results from the testing panel.

The testing protocol requires nine different tests for 7 STIs.  Clearance is given for 14 days from the date of the first sample collection.

“It was great having Jamey on the show,” said show host and Adult Site Broker CEO Bruce the adult site broker. “What PASS does is so critical to the adult industry. It was interesting to hear how PASS works.”
