Bug Chaser

Surprisingly, or more unbelievably, there is a growing trend in gay community; pursuing to get infected by HIV, the virus triggering AIDS.
In their words, a gay man who long to be HIV positive is "bug chaser," and a gay man who possesses the AID virus is "gift givers."

I assume you all scream in your head "What wrong with them!?"

Of course the number is small, though spreading and infecting, literally and figuratively.

There are 3 major factors to make HIV catchy for gay: the excitement of breaking the most forbidden,the desire for a cohesively bonded community, and the release from anxiety about getting infected.

First of all, deliberately sharing HIV is not to mention

the ultimate taboo.

This fact is appealing for some who have tried most sexual plays.

Infecting HIV with themselves are of utmost extreme in sex.

Secondly, even HIV+ community is something to embrace for lost and lonely minorities.

Sharing the same torture, they also share the solid tie which they can with anybody else.

HIV+ circle provides some with emotional home to come by.

Finally, It occurs to their mind ;"Once you get it, you don't have to worry about getting anymore. You're free."

They dream of the moment to take off their "safe-sex" cuffs.

In the next blog entry, I'd like to introduce how bug chasing is finding "the members".

Thanks for reading so far!
