Well, I read about something new today.

Quote:
The revelation came as a court heard yesterday that Neal claimed to have organised a "conversion party" in 2005 at which up to 15 men "gang-banged" a teenager to infect him with HIV.

The court also heard there was a "bug chaser" movement in Melbourne's gay community who wanted to contract the disease and "breed" it.


It was the first of four orders placed on Neal between 2004 and 2006 before police were notified of his case and arrested him in February last year.

Ms Hatch said Neal asked the department to pay for Viagra in 2003 because he found it difficult to get an erection with a condom on.

She also received a report that Neal had said "welcome to my club" after having unprotected sex with a man who did not know Neal was HIV-positive.

An HIV-positive man who said Neal tried to infect him with the virus in 2000 also told the court there was a movement of "bug chasing" and "gift giving" in the gay community � terms used to describe the deliberate transmission of HIV.


The student said Neal looked triumphant when he asked him how it felt to "take a big pos load" when they had unprotected sex in 2000.

"There was absolutely nothing arousing or erotic about what he said. It was more a statement of violence," the student said.

Another man who alleges Neal planned a "conversion party" to infect him with HIV told the court that Neal claimed to have injected a 15-year-old boy with crystal meth, also known as "ice", before he was "gang-banged" by up to 15 men at his Coburg home in 2005.


Neal told him the boy wanted to contract HIV and that his brother would want to go through the same process.

Well, just cause it is about homosexuals doesn't really mean that OH should be brought up.

According to the BBC, there does seem to be some doubt about just how widespread this behavior is.

Quote:
Dyer finds that the overwhelming majority of the talk is pure fantasy.

Men who say they are bug chasers and gift givers fail to stand by their claims on camera and one man who gave an anonymous interview subsequently appeared to be lying to the production team about his activities.

His findings are echoed by the HIV charities.

Will Nutland, head of health promotion at Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "The concepts of 'gift giving' and 'bug chasers' are definitely based more in fantasy than reality.


Perhaps the whole subculture consists of undercover reporters fooling each other into thinking that they're all bug chasers!

I'm sure it is an ultra small percentage. But it is just so weird.

I remember some movie or show had a scene where the dude liked to keep a loaded gun at his girls head while he banged her. Maybe this is the homosexual version of this.
