Have you ever heard of the term "bugchasing"?

[Syringer]

Kind of gay if you ask me..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_chaser

Bugchasing (or Bug chasing) is a term, invented in the 1990s, stemming out of an minority of gay men wanting (Chasing) to become infected with HIV.

...

What could cause men to tempt fate so? Though the practice of bug chasing seems bizarre to most there are many apparent reasons for the actions. Some men report that the element of danger in sexual encounters of this kind adds to the "rush" of arousal. There are men who, once infected, feel like they finally "belong," they are now part of the Gay community. Some find relief in knowing that now they don't have to worry about getting infected any more, the deed is done. Some believe the myth that HIV is a chronic manageable disease and that the new drugs promise them a long and healthy life. Some couples see infection as the deepest level of intimacy.

Whats sad is that there are enough people out there doing this to warrant giving it a name.
