Too much speculation here...but plenty of grounds for a serious investigation, since not only is Mr Marcus a performer, but he is also a director/producer, who should have understood the ramifications of his actions, but put money before health and safety.
I'm not a big fan of blacklists, but if what has been reported is in fact true, that Mr Marcus deliberately misled people about his test results, then I doubt that I would hire him in any capacity in this industry ever again (not saying others shouldn't, however I would not hire him under the circumstances due to his disregard for the health and safety of others, and the backlash that the entire industry is now going to face as a result of his willful decision to put others at risk, and work without a 100% clean test).
The fact that he was able to conceal, and took steps to hide, his infection, make his actions appear criminally negligent at least for exposing/infecting others, and underscores why each director on set needs to personally verify the HIV/STD tests of all performers.
I's sure Michael Weinstein (AHF) is basking in all of this, as it will gain him more media time and provide him with more fundraising fodder for his thinly veiled anti-porn crusade.
