Two Female Models Positive with Syphilis in Prague

Well... so tourists know they were here :p

. . .

so many things that could be said - but i am out of this fortunately

If there are no names it did not happen

..or a Hungarian plot ?;)

LOS ANGELES—Two female models in the Czech Republic have tested positive for syphilis, according to Europe-based producer Dan Leal, the CEO of Immoral Productions.

The first of these two models, Patient A, found out that she was infected on December 12 when she tested at Prevedig lab in the Czech Republic.

"This lab has an arrangement with a production company in Prague that we will call Company A," Leal said. "The lab sends the results of the tests to directors of Company A and those directors notify talent if there are any issues, rather than the lab calling performers."

When Patient A found out that she had syphilis neither her Czech agent nor the director at Company A told anyone about her results and she began treatment, Leal said.

"Instead of letting the other performers she worked with know that she was positive and had been exposed to syphilis they all kept silent," he said. "The performers who were exposed all kept working thereby possibly exposing numerous others to syphilis. According to a contract director of Company A, it is not the lab's responsibility to notify performers if they have been exposed to syphilis."

On November 20, a German performer named Jason Steel was notified by Interlab in Budapest that he tested positive for syphilis. He announced on Twitter that he had contracted syphilis and began cooperating with everyone so it would not spread. With the help of Interlab and two agents in Budapest (Jul Models and Brill Babes) they contacted the eight models with whom he worked. All eight models were quarantined and told not to shoot again until the New Year. The reason that these eight models were prohibited from working for so long is that it takes up to six weeks for syphilis to be detected, Leal said. Patient A was not one of the eight models who worked with Jason, nor did she work with any of the eight exposed female models.

These two instances are completely unrelated other than that patient A and Steel both worked in Prague.

Patient A and her agent mistakenly thought that she would be able to get a new test that would show she no longer had syphilis after only three weeks of treatment, according to Leal. She attempted this test at another lab in Prague, he said. When this lab found out that she had syphilis it came to light that she was aware of her condition, and so were her agent in the Czech Republic as well as the director and lab—all of whom did not reveal the result, Leal said.

"This is why myself and numerous others just now became [aware] of this scandal," he added.

Patient A was in a large group orgy scene on November 13 for Company A; now another model, Patient B, who was unaware that she had been exposed in this scene, has tested positive for syphilis as well, Leal reported.

"As a result of the inexcusable and irresponsible behavior, we have decided that we will no longer accept any tests from any lab that does not post their results online and notify performers when they have been exposed to syphilis or any other life-threatening STIs," Leal said.

"As a result of previous Syphilis situation in Europe Interlab in Budapest requires performers to sign a consent form. This form allows the lab to release their results to the agents and any performers that may have [been] exposed in the event of a positive life-threatening STI. To the best of our knowledge, Interlab in Budapest is the only lab that does this. In the event a performer does not have a test from Interlab we will pay for it. Brill Babes agency in Budapest has agreed to the same policy for companies that book their models."

I guess it did happen

They all should move to California where it is OK now to infect everybody ( incl. outside the porn industry) with HIV. Syphilis probably is covered under the same asinine law

How many times has this happened, primo?

Way too many that is we are working on changing the testing system out here

I've read your idea/comment on the testing on FB and it ROCKS!

Good stuff on improving the system for more safety, way to go! Also kudos to the labs who are cooperating.

What state do you live in?

It's legal in most states

Not really and BTW I live in a Province


Amen, political correctness gone berserk. OK, the person may live but the medical costs are outrageous and the physical and emotional stress on the person is enormous. Nevermind the stigma.. But nobody gives a fuck...if somebody knowinlgly infected me I would "Ray Donovan" him/her.

haha no it's not you lunatic.

i know 2 pornmodels retired from this starting new year. One is also from Czech.

And jason fucking steel, made so many fucking tapes. I hope not to much connected with his stuff. that is so irresponsible.

Jason Steel is a fine example for the rest of the adult industry of what to do if you test positive for an STI!

He announced on Twitter he had tested positive and worked with the labs and agents to notify all his partners, what more can you ask for

Just as update we are actively working with many other companies here in Europe to change the testing practices and make the industry safer

Syphilis is easy and cheap to treat. Why the noise?

Good thing technology advances on the move. Detection before any scene saved both performers.

No offense, but I truly hope you are joking.

It takes over 3 months of treatment, during which time the performers are unable to work, not to mention our current testing practices do not detect Syphilis for up to 8 weeks

that is big window

Occupational hazards exist. Herpes and Hep C can be much worse. A simple flue can be deadly. Just saying that a Syphilis infection isn't the worst thing to catch and there is no reason for this to be blown out of proportions unless the people behind the news have an agenda. 2 or 3 injections of antibiotics it all it takes.

There should be proceedures in place to double check performers who are doing large group orgy scenes. With so many dicks around it's easy for a deseased one to slip in and then it's a total clusterfuck (pun intended).

what is blown out of proportion?

to stop production to ensure that an infection which potentially goes without symptoms and undetected for 6-8 weeks doesn't spread?

to make sure you don't end up with potentially 50-100 or even more infected people?

Certainly not. It's just not the kinda thing that moves the world with headlines. I was just reading between the lines where blame is given as if it were something nuclear. Producers can find different models or re-schedule. No need to blame competitors for shooting the same models.

I guess the Al Capone picture meant nothing to you.

People can develop dementia and die from Syphilis.

I am not sure how much experience you have with production but based upon what you are saying it must be close to zero.

Our testing practices in Europe can't detect syphilis for up to eight weeks!

That is why when there is a Syphilis outbreak the entire performer pool stops shooting so that it doesn't spread.

This is why I only bang Czech models in VR.

LOL - Can't get any safer than that!

wrap it up

We have been shut down in Budapest for almost three weeks because of this mess.

Most productions will start on Monday, February 4 as long as performers have been brand new tests
