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."

Not a normal human emotion at all you sick monkey.

There is something disturbing that it would be a relief to finally get a life ending disease, pretend to be Christ on the cross and pretend to be some kind of martyr. Its just SICK.

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

I didn't believe it either...Did a search at google.com, for Bug Chaser's, it's for real.

Un-freakin'-believable. But, apparently true.
do a google search on "bug chasers" and/or "barebacking"
read the articles, and always remember them when the gay guys talk about how normal they are.
I had one friend in high school who was straight.
He "came out" in his early twenties. He was so proud and happy about his lifestyle...suddenly, He told Us, He realized why He had never been happy, and he felt "born again" (I will never forget his choice of words)
He blew his brains out with a shotgun when he was 25.
Something just aint right about all this.....

If it's true, it needs to be stopped.

Disturbing, sure, i'm talking about a hypothetical reaction to being informed of the tragic news, and IMO, a reaction that i think wouldn't be uncommon. Perhpaps i should've used another non-emotive word or phrase such as "somewhat to fairly widespread" reaction instead of normal.

Think of the anger and rage inside a person like that. He'd be looking for some outlet to the frustration and anger. And consequently, spreading it around would be a release - a way to get back, get even with the world.

I can accept the premise that a person with nothing to live for would be capable of anything and harming as many people as possible. But I do not find the behavior of willfully speading a deadly virus normal, it is the desperate act of a sick mind.

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.

German Cannibal Goes Over the Top

by Alexander Cockburn
New York Press, Jan. 1-7, 2003

The cannibal community was agog over some pretty far-out activities by two of that community’s members, one being now deceased and well-masticated. There have been abundant reports in the German and British press, but not much here, beyond a brief report on CNN.

Meet first Bernd Juergen B, who finished up on the terminal end of a consensual cannibal relationship. According to police reports, he wrote out his will and had it officially recognized by a notary on the morning of his disappearance March 9, 2001. In the will, he left most of his estate, including a penthouse apartment, to his live-in partner, a fellow named Rene.

Bernd Juergen B had told his boss at Siemens he was taking that Friday off "to attend to some personal matters." He was last seen at a subway station in Berlin. He then took a train some 300 kilometers from Berlin to an old house near Kassel. Reason for trip? Bernd Juergen B had responded to one of several adverts that read: "Gay male seeks hunks 18-30 to slaughter." The advertiser meant this literally.

Armin M was also a computer technician and until recently had a job with a software firm in the Rhine Valley city of Karlsruhe, 30 kilometers south of Rotenburg. He lived with his mother in the 17th-century half-timbered manor house, staying on there after her death.

"He was a mama’s boy," a neighbor later told reporters. "He was totally fixated on his mother, who he said never let him date girls. After she died, he began to thaw out."

After some initial pleasantries the couple got down to business. Armin cut off Bernd’s penis, sauteed it and the two ate it. The proceedings were videotaped by Armin. Police who later watched the tape are, according to the press, now undergoing psychiatric counseling. "The victim appeared to be fully aware of the situation," one investigator has told the press. "Videotape material definitely shows both him and the suspect engaged in eating his own flesh prior to his death." The video also shows that the victim willingly allowed himself to be castrated before both men engaged in eating his severed flesh.

Then Armin M removed body parts for later enjoyment and buried the rest. Police found frozen human flesh and skeletal remains, and a cellar that had been renovated into a makeshift slaughterhouse, complete with trough drains and meat hooks.

The best account I’ve seen was by Roger Boyes in the London Times for Dec. 13.

Armin M, it turns out, was a former sergeant-major in the German army who later worked for the council in Mainz. In the old house the cops found 50 videos that are said to be worth thousands on the "very specialised market for cannibal acts." After snacking on the hors d’oeuvre of Bernd’s penis they set forth for the slaughtering room, where Armin M switched on the camera, then stabbed Bernd Juergen B to death. He then hung the body upside down on a meat hook, allowing the blood to drain, and later cut and wrapped the flesh for freezing. Boyes quotes the head of the Criminological Institute in Wiesbaden, Rudolf Egg, as saying "modern cannibals use[d] deep-freezing to extend and ration out their pleasure. Primitive cannibals used to eat their victims all at one go soon after killing.

"If he really derived pleasure from eating a man," he said, "then he could not possibly eat everything in a single day. And he obviously did not want to eat rotten meat. So he froze the body parts; the act of eating then took on the aspect of a ritual and could be drawn into his sexual fantasies."

German columnists have been blaming Hollywood, specifically The Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon. They’re also sprinkling slurs on the cannibal community at large, with the mass-circulation tabloid Bild expressing concern that cannibals could be everywhere. "They are invisible behind their glasses, their hairstyles, their families, their work, their seemingly unblemished innocence."

Boyes reports that cannibalism "hits a nerve" for a whole generation of Germans who "remember the desperate eating of human organs during the German army invasion of Russia," when the three-month siege of Stalingrad saw the starving storm troopers eating the bodies of their dead fellows, though presumably they avoided dead Russians as untermensch and therefore unfit for Aryan consumption.

Maybe we should stop paying for AIDS medical care by phase out treatment for those homosexual guys who boink with blind oblivion. Any new infections after 2010, no government aid. This would promote personal responsiblity.

Says it all. 25% of all deviant males that prefer to insert their p*nis into feces want to die.

This condition was ALWAYS considered deviant, until the homosexuals started becoming psychologists/psychiatrists. Then, they simply changed the definition.

That has got to be one of the sickest things Ive ever heard. I hope it its hoax. I dont think the country is ready for infection with HIV to be called erotic.

Don't you mean: "Killing me softly with his dong"?
