It's a tale of two tests. Two copies of the same HIV test belonging to Marc Wallice. One test copy bears the words "49 yrs" in the space provided where DOB/sex is requested. The other copy is of exactly the same test, with one difference. It reads, "49 yrs...Female."
"It just gets curioser and curioser," says AVN legal editor Mark Kernes. Kernes returned from VCA yesterday afternoon with a copy of the original Marc Wallice ELISA test that's dated March 30, 1998. The test shows Wallice testing negative. The "original" test that Kernes brought back, authenticated by the testing lab, is also the one that specifies "49 yrs...Female." The Xerox copy of the Marc Wallice test that has been in Kernes' possession for over six weeks is the one that gives an age without the sex designation. This is the test that has been thought to be a forgery because Wallice is not 49 years old. Kernes, however, would not say where he got his copy.
"I obtained this from a source within the adult industry who would prefer not to be named," said Kernes. "He said he obtained it from the files of Elegant Angel where Marc Wallice was employed."
"Something seems to be wrong here," Kernes went on to say. "We have to work on this. I'm perfectly willing to believe that this is a test from Bio-Cypher, from NEVHC. My question is, why does this look like that?" [The 49 yrs...Female designation.]
The original test was brought by Dr. Mark Henrickson of the Northeast Valley Health Corporation [NEVHC] to VCA last Friday at Wallice's request. It was notarized at VCA at the insistence of Russ Hampshire.
Hampshire: "We have to make sure the lab copy's correct because it says 'female' on the copy. I also had the same copy [as Kernes] that was going around. This guy [Henrickson] certified the original in my office saying nothing was wrong with it. The test they're saying is counterfeit is not. But the original says female, so we don't know what this is. I called the guy [Henrickson] back. He [Wallice] is getting an attorney. He can't deal with this. Every time he opens his mouth, there's somebody saying something to him. I want to try and protect his [Wallice's] mental health because that affects everything else in his body. You get stressed out, it slows your immune system. He's doing real good right now. I don't want to believe that he knew he had it [an HIV positive reading]. Until somebody can prove it, I won't believe it. People are asking me why I hired him. I offered jobs to everyone who had HIV, Marc happens to be the one who took advantage of the situation. All the other girls had jobs and quit. Marc needed a real job to keep him out of the joint. I gave him a real job.
