On April 30, 1998, the then-head of AIM Medical, Sharon Mitchell, announced that Wallice was HIV positive. Wallice's career as a performer was effectively over and there were rumors and speculation that he intentionally hid his HIV positive status with fake blood work through several HIV testing cycles to continue working, and consequently infected several actresses, including Brooke Ashley (a.k.a. Anne Marie Ballowe),{{cite journal |last=Huffstutter |first=P.J. |date=January 12, 2003 |title=See No Evil |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-jan-12-tm-porn-story.html |journal=Los Angeles Times Magazine |access-date=September 16, 2014}} Tricia Devereaux, Caroline, and Kimberly Jade. Doubts of this speculation were investigated using Wallice's tests.{{cite web|last=Staff|title=Marc Wallice Closer to Vindication?|url=http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Marc-Wallice-Closer-to-Vindication-36253.html|publisher=Adult Video News|access-date=March 2, 2014|archive-date=March 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140302232644/http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Marc-Wallice-Closer-to-Vindication-36253.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|last=Staff|title=Marc Wallice Speaks Out on his Role in the HIV Controversy: "Brooke Ashley Is Off Her Fucking Rocker!"|url=http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Marc-Wallice-Speaks-Out-on-his-Role-in-the-HIV-Controversy-8220-Brooke-Ashley-Is-Off-Her-Fucking-Rocker-8221-36300.html|publisher=Adult Video News|access-date=March 2, 2014|archive-date=March 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140302234012/http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Marc-Wallice-Speaks-Out-on-his-Role-in-the-HIV-Controversy-8220-Brooke-Ashley-Is-Off-Her-Fucking-Rocker-8221-36300.html|url-status=dead}}
