Is there anyone that has or is bugchasing? Does anyone know a bugchaser? If so can you please explain what is so desirable about it. Bugchasing is purposely trying to contract HIV through unprotected anal sex with a HIV infected partner. It is practised by gay men. No i'm not gay and i'm not a bugchaser.

I once was friends with a gay young man who, during the time of our friendship, decided he would come out of his closet. He did this with great enthusiasm and fanfare. One of his objectives was to contract HIV in order that the world would take his committment seriously. I am not a gay person but I have always assumed that he was a bit of a dramatist, attention seeking and really over-the-top! Anyway, I do believe there are such people who engage in these philosophies and practices. I also subscribe to the belief that they would want to perhaps keep a low profile...

This was supposedly a practice in the 80s when the HIV virus was first identified. For some, I guess it could have been an attempt to get attention or sympathy.
In this day and age, even with the medications that exist now, no one in their right mind would wilfully contract AIDS. There is still no cure, and the drugs whack the hell out of you.
And if this in fact happened, it wasn't just "practiced by gay men," so don't bring your prejudices into an otherwise good question.

I have heard of it but have never actually met anyone who professes to be into that and I suspect that if there really are people into that there are only a very small amount of them.I have heard of "bug" parties but have never seen one or heard of one in any city I have lived in or been to.There is no website dedicated to them and no group or organization that is for them.There is, in fact, nothing to indicate to me that there are any "bug chasers" around.I am not saying there aren't any.But the fact that I never see or hear of them tells me that those that are out there are so small in numbers that you could fit them into a small bus.
I am gay and I am not into that.

"you could fit them into a small bus"
...or a big azz.
I don't even like the sensation of something coming out of my butt, never mind something going in!
