Do some gay men want to contract HIV? Researchers grapple with bug chasing
CBC ^ | Sep 23, 2006 | EREMY HAINSWORTH

Lloyd Norquay is HIV positive and he's mystified as to why anyone else would want to be.

Norquay, who manages a gay bathhouse in Vancouver, says he's been approached by men who don't have the virus that causes AIDS but who tell him they want to be infected by him.

"I usually try to find out why, if they're interested in talking at all, and then ask them questions as to why they're wanting to do this," Norquay said.

"Nobody has a real answer."

In the gay community, they're called bug chasers. If he were willing, Norquay would be referred to as a gift giver.

Whether they actually exist or whether they're simply part of the fantasy life that's rife on the Internet is a matter of debate among researchers and even Norquay isn't quite sure.

However, other researchers aren't convinced anyone would actively try to contract the AIDS virus.

Those researchers need to watch Acting Up and read Bug Chasers: The men who long to be HIV+

This is no surprise, this has been know for years. And what's the gay response?

"PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!"
They are out in mass screaming how it is all lies. They don't want to truth to get out, that they are sick, twisted, perverts.

AIDS is the only disease with political rights and it is ridiculous. AIDS is one of the most preventable diseases to ever plaque mankind. Keep your pants on and needles out of your arm!! Stop wasting taxpayers money on this.

I don't know for sure, but don't ever underestimate mankind's capacity for stupidity.

(Considering the subject, shouldn't they have used the "BUTTSECKS?" owl for that graphic instead?)
