Gays deliberately getting AIDS

The Rolling Stone | 1/21/02

I heard on WRIF radio the Rolling Stone is writing an article that Gay men are deliberately seeking out men who are infected with AIDS to have unprotected sex. Has anybody seen this article?

Ok, not too much of a problem. This is actually a self correcting issue in the long run.

Well I agree but this will spur more Fed money for a cure, even though It gets more money than any other disease!

[concerned about politics]

Self defeating behavior. They know they're mentally sick. Might as well be physcally sick too. What the heck. Go for it!
Maybe they can make themselves extinct. Vote "no" to making them a protected species! (They'll do anything for that elitist status!)

But...but....the deficet! The recession! We can't afford a tax break, so we certainly can't afford to pay for a cure for just a hand full of special interest kooks. Priorities!

I've not seen the article, but I read in David Horowitz' book, Radical Son, how some homosexual men continue in their lifestyle knowing they have AIDS and knowing full well the danger they pose to other people.

“Hi. My name is David. You don’t know me, but some of you knew someone who did. He called himself Irish here, I guess. His name was Lee and he was my uncle. Well, my dad’s college roomie, but he was always Uncle Lee to me. He died on January 3 of this year, but only after giving me the bug.”


Another young man seduced by his "Uncle."

It is the opposite of: "I'm Okay, You're Okay."

"So-called bugchasers (those looking to intentionally infect themselves with HIV) are a tiny outré minority, and are in no way representative of gays in general."

The Drudge story quoted the Dr. as saying 25%, that is no small minority.

The Drudge headline says "MAG: 25% OF NEW HIV-INFECTED GAY MEN SOUGHT OUT VIRUS, SAYS SAN FRAN HEALTH OFFICIAL... "

Exactly

CJ should be showing up to flame you for that in a moment.

OK :)

Guess you only do that to me.

This is hardly news. sharing the virus has been "in" for years.

An HIV-poz fellow I knew in 1989 in SF went out of his way to contract the virus, and then tried hard to seduce STRAIGHT men and gay, never telling them that he was infected. He was a very attractive guy and apparently "scored" daily. When I asked him why he wasn't telling his "scores" that he was HIV positive, he said, all wide-eyed innocense: "You think I should?"

Instant end to our friendship....he's probably infected hundreds if not thousands of guys since then.

So many diseases need more research dollars, while we waste megamillions on perverse death-loving creeps.
