Doing Adult Films - Help me mitigate risk

I am in a committed, monogamous relationship.  My partner and I are doing adult films already.  

We are now adding extra women to the films to expand our site.  

Since I'm in a committed relationship, I haven't had to worry about STIs in quite a while.  I need to protect myself (and above all my partner) from whatever lurks out there these days.

Our films do not contain any hardcore stuff.  They are sexy films with a lot of posing.  The most raunchy we get is a handjob or *******.  That's it.  There is no type of intercourse or any other risky behavior.  

I need help with the following questions:

1)  How likely is it to get an STI for a male who is having unprotected felatio performed on him?  (the one getting the pleasure from the oral sex)

2)  It is common practice to test for STIs in my industry.  The tests are typically done within 30 days of the shoot.  However, these tests leave a 30 day window where one of my performers could theoretically hook up with a lot of people, catching an STI and passing it on to me.  What is the best way to mitigate this risk?

3)  Similar to the last question, is there a way to get STI testing done rapidly and within a few days of a shoot?  This would help me mitigate risk by a factor of 10, I think.

4)  For double blowjobs, what are the risk of STI infection if one girl has an STI and the other does not?  What is the risk of one of the girls passing on the STI to the other, from her mouth, through the "prop penis" to the other girl?  

5)  If there are any other ways to mitigate this risk (through testing, etc...) please let me know.  I'm striving to make this as safe of an experience as I can for all involved.  

Thanks!

It may not be accepted to use condoms but it just the real fact to keep everyone safe to use condoms. Not sure where you are but in California some porn starts just tested positive for HIV. So with that I would have to urge the use of condoms even though HIV is not a concern for oral sex.

Other then the use of condoms testing is the only way to be sure but some tests do have time windows like herpes, HIV and syphilis are much longer then gonorrhea and chlymida.

Only other advice is for people to remain sexless for 3 months and test so that way you know that the tests are valid and they could not have picked anything up in the time period from when they tested and last had sex.

Thanks for the quick post.

I should rephrase the parts where I ask "what is the best way to protect" because using condoms for oral sex in my industry would be a pretty bad idea.  Think of any porn you might have ever seen.  If you saw condoms in the oral parts, would you watch it?  For some reason, it's not accepted.  (I wouldn't watch it either)

Genius answer on #4, thanks!  I wasn't thinking of it that way for some reason.  Just like kissing make perfect sense.  :)
