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."

I think "Bung Chasers" is more fitting.

[octobersky]

Unbelievable!

[Rightly Biased]

Rush talked about this a while back about this russian roulette and I thought he had to be kidding---guess not


Boy!! its good to know my tax dollars are "hard" at work to save these "mos'" that are trying to die anyway,what a sick world we live in.

[cyborg]

I remember Rush talking about it too. He called it 'bare backing'. How sad isn't it?

I guess this tidbit won't be on an AMFAR poster on the next bus I see.

[Ronin]

Nothing surprises me anymore, but this comes close.

[glorgau]

In light of this, I now view barebacking and bugchasing not as Antisocial Personality Disorder, but more as Self Inflicted Violence, or as I prefer to call it, Self Injurious Behavior. This realization turned the question from "how could someone do that?" to "how can I understand and help?"

I believe he would view it as anti-social if he realized that paying for these goofball's drugs and therapy is directly impacting care decision made relating to other afflictions such as grandma's diabetes.

A Guide To Social Security And SSI Disability Benefits For People With HIV Infection
Publication No. 05-10020
Social Security can provide a lifeline of support to people with HIV infection. That lifeline comes in the form of monthly Social Security disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, Medicare and Medicaid coverage and a variety of other services available to people who receive disability benefits from Social Security.

If you are disabled because of HIV infection, this booklet will help you understand the kinds of disability benefits you might be eligible for from the Social Security or SSI programs.

Social Security Site

Subsidize something and get more of it. Get HIV and The Government will take care of you, with free medical care, and a monthly check. Being HIV+ allows you to be in the "sick role"; less is expected of you. No more having to strive and struggle.

Proving what I've said all along...queers hate themselves and their agenda is to make everyone else as miserable as they are. And these depraved bastards demand MORE money for AIDS research. They can go to Hell.

[Caipirabob]

Once you remove the social taboos upon open depravity, who says there has to be a limit?

[mombonn]

Homosexuality is a mental illness

Do you say the same about adultery? How about sex without marriage?

The Bible labels them all as SIN. We may draw distinctions, God does not.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Well, this is the end of the Darwin Awards. Nothing will ever top this.

[GrandMoM]

"And this is the condemnation that light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil"(John 3:19).

[Cultural Jihad]

We are talking about basically irrational people engaging in irrational acts.

[AmericaUnited]

They Love Death!

[Rightly Biased]

But we are told that there is nothing wrong with the "Mo" lifestlye could Oprah and Rosie be wrong??!!

Please tell me that it ain't so!! < /sarcasm>

[Bob]

Well, this is the end of the Darwin Awards. Nothing will ever top this.

Nah, the Darwin Awards are based on one's removing himself from the gene pool. These guys weren't even in the wading pool.

[antaresequity]

LOL...this is to much...Anyway we can just inject them with virus to get things rolling?
