Nacho has been doing the rounds on Spanish talk shows lately, promoting his new book. I was feeling the wobbly pops so I don't remember the exact details, but here is an excerpt from what I do remember:
He's found true love and plans to retire from performing and move behind the camera, after he films Nacho and Sus Esclavas (in english I think it's going to be called 101 Women for Nacho Vidal, but, as usual, in Spain they call it whatever the fuck they want).
He just received notice from his boss (Stagliano?) that one of the girls he recently worked with in Brazil, who also worked with Darren James, has tested positive. Needless to say, Nacho is scared shitless and is awaiting the results of his own tests, due out on Wed.
He said so in the interview. I should have mentioned that it is not my intention to gossip here or to imply that Nacho has contracted the virus; I have simply translated what he said.
Thanks for the info. The part I don't understand is why did he work bareback in Brazil if Evil Angel has a condom-only policy when it comes to working in Brazil.

Excellent point, Ramsey. But since only Nacho himself would be able to answer this question, and everything else would be mere speculation, we most likely will never learn the truth about this very question.
See this thread for more about the 3-way Nacho did with a girl and a tranny in Brazil. Rumor , but not facts known to me, suggest that one or both have tested HIV+. The girl has appeared with trannies in other videos and supposedly shot with Darren James in Brazil.
Let's keep in mind that Darren wasn't flown to Brazil to do a single shoot with one girl - he probably shot as many scenes as humanly possible, with as many girls as they could find. If his infection came from Brazil - and I haven't seen any reason for AVN or AIM to jump to this conclusion - there are probably many contacts to investigate.
As for EA policy on condoms: I don't think Nacho ever worked for EA. I think EA distributed product for Nacho and perhaps provided some services as needed to develop product. I don't think EA has editorial control beyond that of any other distributor, i.e., if you don't like it then don't buy it. Stagliano has a policy for his shoots and may encourage the other directors, but he doesn't have the employer/employee lever to order this or that.

*waving hand high and strong * GOOD BYE!!!
I've never been a fan of him. Yes he can be funny at time, but he can be equally annoying and disruptive to a scene. I wish him the best and hope he's OK in the end from all this tuff going on, but my personal opinion of him won't change any time soon....
I'm pretty sure the scene in question is in Hard Time Shemale. Apparently the first scene in this movie has him in a 3-way paired with a shemale (now apparently HIV+) and a genetic girl (also apparently now HIV+). In this scene Nacho does not wear a condom. He fucks the genetic girl (without a condom) but not the shemale. The shemale also fucks the genetic girl (with a condom). Nacho and the shemale don't do each other in any way including oral. This is the trend in his shemale scenes. They are always him with a girl and shemale. He fucks the girl, the shemale fucks the girl, but Nacho never fucks the shemale (at least not on camera). I think he's one of the best performers out there period. He always gives a top notch peformance, he's a got a huge cock that chicks love, I've never seen seen him have wood problems and you never got a weak scene out of him or the girl he is with. As far as his directing goes, I won't pull any punches when I say I think it sucks. Bad camera work and lack of flow to the scenes is what hurts his directing efforts. He is always better when someone else directs him in a scene. I hope he's not gone from performing, it would be a great loss to the porn world.
What is the name of Nacho's book? Have you seen it yet?
I think he is an intense performer, and very talented. Except for one problem: his inability to refrain from slapping an actress' face, even when he is not in a rough sex scene. I recently watched Digital Sin's Erotica XXX 3, which is basically a regular gonzo title, filmed in some classy houses. Nacho is the only man who does this kind of slapping in the whole movie, and he slaps each woman he's with about 20 times per scene. A real turn off. I hope whoever is the love of his life, he treats her decently, or she'll have a permanently swollen face.

I think it's funny that Nacho even has a book. Is he that famous in Spain? Can you tell us what the name of the book is? I might try to order it. I can read a little spanish, and I doubt there are very many big words.

I was with Nacho in Barcelona, and it was amazing. People were going up to him on the street, asking to take their picture with him. It's the same way with Rocco in Rome. Mindblowing to an American...
Ramsey, Jenna Jameson gets recognized when she's out in public here in the US, and people do go up and ask for her autograph. Ron Jeremy gets recognized a lot too, he's even in cameos in music videos and comedy shows on TV, he's that recognizable. Still, I don't think it says one thing or another about the worth of a country, if its people recognize porn stars or not.
Denis, just to clarify, I certainly don't want to see Nacho contract the HIV infection, I don't think anyone deserves this. On the other hand, he was down in Brazil not just as an actor, but also as a director, so perhaps he had some responsibility to be aware of the prevalence of HIV infection in sex workers in that country, and to be aware of how other Evil Angel directors handle working down there.
You and the other porn insiders know him as a person off the set, and I don't doubt that he can be friendly and generous. But from our viewpoint as viewers, how can we know any of that? What we see is how he is during scenes, and during the BTS footage. I've seen him in 9 different scenes in 5 different movies, and in every scene, he is constantly slapping the face of the actress, usually because she didn't answer him quickly enough, or because she's not opening her mouth wide enough, or because she's not doing something just the way he wants it. In one movie, he slapped a quiet young woman because she wasn't talking. Frankly, I consider him a brute, beyond even the worst that Rocco can be like.
Still, I hope he doesn't get the HIV infection, nobody deserves that.
I wonder how much Stanley Miranda's responsibility comes into this. I thought he handled all business in Brazil including casting girls for Evil Angel movies so he's also the person who must make sure all tests are oke.
I'd say it's from people searching for more information about him since some Spanish news outlets (no idea how reliable they are) have reported Nacho recently tested positive for HIV. He refused to comment one way or another if he was or not, but basically dismissed it. His mother did deny that he was HIV positive.
If the news is false, he should go get tested and give the results along with his permission to publish the results to a reputable news outlet to nip it in the bud before people start accepting it as fact without any real evidence.
