Bugchasing is the practice of pursuing sexual activity with HIV-positive individuals in order to contract HIV. Individuals engaged in this activity are referred to as bugchasers. It is a form of self-harm. Bugchasers seek sexual partners who are HIV-positive for the purpose of having unprotected sex and becoming HIV-positive; giftgivers are HIV-positive individuals who comply with the bugchaser's efforts to become infected with HIV.
Bugchasers indicate various reasons for this activity. Some bugchasers engage in the activity for the excitement and intimacy inherent in pursuing such a dangerous activity, but do not implicitly desire to contract HIV.[1][2] Some researchers suggest that the behavior may stem from a "resistance to dominant heterosexual norms and mores" due to a defensive response by gay men to repudiate stigmatization and rejection by society.[2]
Some people consider bugchasing "intensely erotic" and the act of being infected as the "ultimate taboo, the most extreme sex act left."[3] A number of people who are HIV negative and in a relationship with someone who is HIV-positive seek infection as a way to remain in the relationship, particularly when the HIV-positive partner may wish to break up to avoid infecting the HIV negative partner.
I refuse to believe this is anything more than a myth. I'm sure it's happened, but I can't allow myself to believe this is a common occurrence.
There's even a forum for it (I forget where) but there are a LOT of guys who willingly get HIV just to "get it over with" so they can have promiscuous sex without having to worry.

Sadly, there's literally thousands of "POZ load" videos on gay **** sites. It's a real thing.
What even is POZ?
And it can be both a fetish and a mental disorder, depending on the individual. I personally find this shocking and don't want this for anybody but hey, if you want to its your choice

It's appealing to people in the same way gambling does, but the consequences are a lot worse when things go wrong in this scenario as opposed to just losing money.
Umm it shouldnt even be a question, it is MENTAL. you are disgusting and filth if you participate in this, a fetish? Hell no, i will not accept that. HIV is serious, if you want to 'chase' it then you should just be killed off anyways since you are obviously a sick, disgusting, twisted, deluded person.
