MAG: 25% OF NEW HIV CASES IN USA ARE MEN WHO SOUGHT OUT VIRUS

New ROLLING STONE Managing Editor Ed Needham is set to hit complete controversy with a 4-page report: "Bug Chasers: The Men Who Secretly Long To Be HIV+."

Filed by Greg Freeman, the shock story claims some men with HIV are deliberately having unprotected sex with those who want to be infected!

"The men who want the virus are called 'bug chasers,' and the men who freely give them the virus are called 'gift givers.' While the rest of the world fights the AIDS epidemic and most people fear HIV infection, this subculture celebrates the virus and eroticizes it," reports Freeman in the February 6, 2003 edition of ROLLING STONE.

At least twenty-five percent of all newly infected gay men fall into [bug-chasing] category, according to one claim in the magazine.

"In this world, the men with HIV are the most desired, and the bug chasers will do anything to get the virus."

Gay groups "aggressively encouraged" Freeman to drop the article.

One sad passage captures a young man in New York City who wants to be infected:

"His eyes light up as he says that the actual moment of transmission, the instant he gets HIV, will be 'the most erotic thing I can imagine.'"

An infector is quoted as saying: "I'm murdering him in a sense, killing him slowly, and that's sort of, as sick as it sounds, exciting to me."

"killing me softly with his song"....Apologies to Roberta Flack.

Points out the drawbacks of our whole civil rights oriented strategy to AIDS as opposed to quarantine/partner notification and identification. IMO, the first thing guys did when told they had AIDS was go out and infect as many as possible. An entirely rational response to the anger and unfairness they must have felt.

And to think the Boy Scouts are missing this diverse life view because of their homophobic intolerance.

Shocked, but not surprised. The word "gay" is a misnomer when describing homosexuals and the lifestyle they lead. "Gay" means "happy" and "carefree" and there is nothing "happy" or "carefree" about it.

More proof that Darwin was right. This is wonderful, if true. Fairies killing fairies; can't be a hate crime.

So much for candles and soft music.

Does the author have any proof of this claim? It sounds too weird and evil to be true.

Gives the psychodynamics of reaction formation and sadomasochism in the gay mentality, I can believe it.

That should read...that is an idiotic statement. You have no idea what you are talking about...if you think people who get this disease are thrilled to spread it around.

I wonder if being HIV+ is a welfare "ticket".

Thanks. What do you think the reaction would be? Sit at home and stop partying and clubbing?

It's a normal human reaction.

Never said anyone would be thrilled. That's your interpretation. I'm talking about the reaction of the individual on being informed they have it.

Let's not be insensitive about this lifestyle choice. "Bug-chasers" should have the same civil rights we all enjoy...

Seriously - with this twisted attitude, what is stopping these psychopaths from infecting STRAIGHT people? Would you want one of these sick bastards working in a resturaunt where you eat? Is that really Ranch dressing on your salad?

AAck!
Hey I grew up around gays and not much would surprise me. I could tell some stories. Being vindictive and trying to infect people is quite plausible.

It sounds too weird and evil to be true.

In just the past month, I've heard things that are too weird to be true, but true they are. For example, the story from Germany about a guy that answered the ad in Germany to voluntarily die - after they cooked and ate his penis - in some freaky ritual, was in the news not long ago. Then last night I watched some cable channel showing people purposely severing their own fingers, injecting saline solution into their foreheads, hanging several feet in the air suspended from a rod of some kind piercing their skin, etc.

Makes your skin crawl; there are some really serious weirdoes out there.
