I couldn't believe what I saw in the chat room I visit the other day. There was a guy that came in that was HIV neg and was looking for an HIV poz Dom to infect him. It was brought to my attention that these kind of men are called bug chasers. Here the world is trying to stop the infection rate and mortality rate, and then there is this guy. And he isn't alone, from what I have been told. There are several of them out there that think it would be great to be infected and have HIV. I don't know what they are thinking or their reasons, but the reasons I can come up with are a dead in, in my opinion.
The, its OK and doesn't matter attitude, is what is so appalling. I mean they must think in some wacky way that once they are infected they are free to have sex with anyone and everyone and it doesn't matter if you have safe sex or not. What most of these bug chasing morons seem to forget that there are several strains of HIV out there. Some of which are resistant to the current HIV treatments. I think they think that because of the advances in Medical science , it is a manageable disease like diabetes. While there have been allot of advances made in the treatment of HIV they all lead to the same ending- a shortened life span and death. There are some strains out there that will kill you in 3 months if untreated and even then you only have about 2yrs maybe with treatment. I don't call that a manageable disease. I can only imagine that these bug chasers are on a suicide mission. They must want to die but think this will be the best way because they think the stigmatism of suicide is greater than the stigmatism of dying from AIDS. Either way it means cutting your life short and you are still committing suicide. Maybe they think that at least this way if a cure comes along they don't have to take responsibility for their actions in getting the disease. I am at a loss.
There is only one other reason I can think someone would want to get infected. The non-response ability for one's self that can go along with being infected. What I am talking about is the ability to get public assistance. Government housing, food stamps, SSDI(if they have worked long enough) or SSI, and health care(Medicare/Medicaid. There is an attitude among many young people these days that they are to be kept for simply existing. BS! They need to grow up and be a man and take responsibility for ones self. If they are looking for the easiest way to live, then they have joined all of mankind since creation in that effort. We would all like to find an easier way to live and is a constant goal of man kind.
Well I have ranted on long enough. If you know of someone that would like to read this blog, then by all means give them the address.
