"Bug chasers" deliberately try to get infected with AIDS. Supposedly they do it for thrills and for the hope of becoming part of the brotherhood of the infected. Weird.

Hunting of "bush meat" has been suggested as a zoonotic vector for a number of diseases.

It might be worth noting chimpanzees also hunt "bush meat";ie:human infants,and various monkey species.This is almost an ideal situation for cross-species viral mutation,IMHO.

A particular interest has been so-called foamy viruses, which are not known to cause disease in humans.

Did somebody mention the Lord and Master?

Once the homosexuals mix it up in their anal biowarfare labs, watch out!
