It was not AIDS, it was a faulty test 
Nacho Vidal, a well-known Spanish adult film actor, recently clarified rumors regarding his health after a false-positive HIV test. Vidal, who has been active in the adult industry for decades, shared that after a routine test during filming, he was mistakenly informed that he was HIV-positive. Concerned, he immediately alerted his colleagues and advised them to get tested. However, subsequent confirmatory tests revealed that neither he nor any of his partners were HIV-positive.
The false diagnosis led to widespread speculation and personal attacks on Vidal, impacting his professional and personal life. His family was also affected, with media and social networks amplifying the misinformation. Vidal expressed frustration with the handling of the situation, including alleged harassment by journalists. In response, he initiated legal action against a Spanish media outlet for defamation.
This episode sheds light on the challenges public figures face in managing both health concerns and media scrutiny.
