Leal Describes Recent Performer Syphilis Exposures in Europe

BUDAPEST — “Porno” Dan Leal, who disclosed yesterday that two female adult performers in the Czech Republic tested positive for syphilis, said that he’s changed course on choosing talent for his productions.

Leal told XBIZ today that because of “inexcusable and irresponsible behavior” on the part of a talent agent and testing lab, his company, Immoral Productions, has decided to “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.”

Further, Leal said, his Immoral Productions will only accept testing results from Interlab in Budapest.

“As a result of previous syphilis situation in Europe, Interlab in Budapest requires performers to sign a consent form,” Leal said. “This form allows the lab to release their results to the agents and any performers that may have 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 Babe's agency in Budapest has agreed to the same policy for companies that book their models.”  

Leal said that the first of the two models who tested positive for syphilis found out that she was infected on Dec. 12 when she tested at Prevedig lab in the Czech Republic.

“This lab has an arrangement with a production company in Prague 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 [she] found out that she had syphilis neither her Czech agent or the director 'Company A' told anyone about her results and she began treatment. Instead of letting the other performers she worked with know that she was positive and that had been exposed to syphilis they all kept silent.

“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.

Leal said that the female performer 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.

“She attempted this test at another lab in Prague,” Leal said. “When this lab found out that she had syphilis it came to light that she was aware of her condition, and so was her agent in the Czech Republic as well as the director and lab — all of whom hid this result.

Leal said that the performer was in a large group orgy scene on Nov. 13 for “Company A.”

“Now another model … who was unaware that she had been exposed in this scene, has tested positive for syphilis as well,” he said.

Separately, Leal noted that on Nov. 20 a German performer named Jason Steel was notified by Interlab in Budapest that he tested positive for syphilis.

“He bravely announced on Twitter that he had contracted syphilis and began cooperating with everyone so it would not spread,” Leal said. “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 not told to shoot again until the new year," he said. "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 that the first female performer who tested positive was not one of the eight models who worked with Steel, nor did she work with any of the eight exposed female models.

“These two instances are completely unrelated other than that [first performer] and Jason both worked in Prague,” he said.
