  • This man was very intelligent, gifted I would say. In summary, a very eloquent and accurate speaker. I personally think the problem is hard drugs, they change a persons mindset. Drug dealers are the real dirty scum in society.

  • Thank you for posting this video.

    Education is key!

  • love your earrings.

  • @ aidsvideos i sincerely wish you the best!you are helping others to stay healthy.you are truly amazing! you ARE making a difference,. =)

  • this is some sick-ass shit

  • I brought up the subject of bug chasing in my Psychopathology class and everyone in the class looked at me like I was stupid. The professor didn't know anything about it either. Mind you, this is a doctoral program in psychology. These are future psychologists who denied the existence of bug chasing, and were ignorant to the reality of it. Very sad. :(

  • @tyrellbustin: Thank you for sharing that insight. Bug chasers need to think about the consequences of their actions for themselves, their future partners, and society. They'll need $600,000 of lifetime medical care after they contract HIV. That's a lot of pills, needle sticks, and treatment for a person to put up with, and a lot of expense they're causing for society as a whole--health insurers and/or the government. They'll expose future partners to the risk of HIV. It's not worth it!!!

  • Bug chasers shouldn't be allowed government assistance for ARVs

  • it's true. I used to be like that with my friends. It's a faze. I am glad I am over it.

  • Some questions arise. Is it prevalent?...that is, how do the rates of bugchasing compare to other dysfunctional behavior? How is it related to the tendency for males to engage in risky behavior in general? How do these men act differently in their sexual lives after they get hiv(that is, did they get it to allow themselves to assume a particular lifestyle)?

  • Why in gods name would someone gay or straight want HIV?

  • Watch the documentary "The Gift" for a profile of some bug chasers. It's stupid, sick, suicidal, dysfunctional behavior. Some people think contracting HIV is inevitable and want to "get it over with." Some perversely long for the sense of "belonging" that they think being HIV+ will provide. It's all misconceptions and delusions and denial. No rational, well-informed human being wants to be HIV+!

  • I think it's really great that u share this all and I hope that it keeps (young) men from being irresponsible with sex. thanx

  • Go away you Homeboys of Jesus...

    Fuck......  Just go away....

    I bareback, not chasing, but with the realization it is a risk...

    There IS A DIFFERENCE

    and NO, I am NOT suicidal...

    Thank You Very Much....

  • I'm gay and have lots of sex but I NEVER bareback. If you bareback, you are ignorant. It takes up to 6 months for a test to show you are positive with 99% accuracy. That means you were negative 6 months ago. What about the sex you've had since your test? What about the time since 6 months ago? A lot of time. You weren't celibate that whole time. You are taking a huge risk. It's more dangerous than riding without a seatbelt in terms of the probability of it happening. Stupid choice.

  • @DionysusLV I feel sorry for you. I bet you sleep around alot don't you? I used to be like you, barebacking and all that. But I wised up. One day you will get infected and wonder why.

  • You're doing a great service by helping those who, like you, are HIV positive. And you're right, bug chasing is suicide; the fact that anyone would want to become HIV positive just to "fit in" with a group of people raises extremely disturbing questions about just how far people are willing to go to conform. Alot of people are willing to literally do anything to avoid rejection by their peers, as bug chasing shows - even slowly, painfully kill themselves.

  • Bug chasing is actually fear mixed with ignorance and self hate, to put your self

    in front of a MOVING train bound to kill you its SUICIDE.

  • Blimey! I never knew this behavior existed. Probably because I figured people wouldn't deliberately slit their throat if they didn't view it as committing suicide. But I guess - these people don't view Bug chasing as "suicide".

    Is bug-chasing just limited to gay men or is surfacing in gay women and heterosexual people ?

    I guess the mindset of these people is that HIV can be treated easily with afew pills.

    Very disturbing.

  • This is so unreal, yet it is real. It's suicide, as the good man says.

    I have a gay friend who I think is on the cusp here. He laments that all his butt buddies (not a pejorative) are HIV+ and he isn't.

    He is thinking of going for it. I can not condone this, and I can not condone him being near my family with this attitude.

  • Really twisted

  • What a lame excuse to get infected. It is not inevitable that every homosexual will get HIV. They are sex addicts, full of lust and want to have sex with numerous partners without a condom plain and simple. Their minds are preverted and the lust spirits they deal with will always want more and more. Deliverance is needed that only God can give.

  • You seem to spend a lot of your time on YouTube making superficial and negative statements about gays and HIV+ gays. Some reminders: (1) Christ preached "HEAL the sick," (Matt 10:8) not "Stigmatize the sick." (2) "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven" (Luke 6:37) How about you take a break from condemning the alleged sins of others and focus on seeking forgiveness for your OWN sins and serving others?

  • I made 2 comments. I don't spend a LOT of time making negative statements about homosexuals. Do you tell the people who make positive comments they spend alot of time making positive comments?

    I have been saved and constantly seek forgiveness for my sins so that when I die I am ready to be with the Lord. "Judge not" does not mean you can't tell someone that what they are doing is wrong and they need deliverance. I am sure there are lots of gays that get to hell and say noone told me. I tell.

  • You made 2 comments on *this channel's* videos. Your profile shows that you have offended many other people through similar comments on other channels. Your comments stereotype gay people, are stigmatizing and discriminatory based on sexual orientation, and are frequently gross generalizations. Jesus didn't do such things. I'd commend you to follow his example if you're "4jesusalltheway."

  • Stay out of my profile thank you and I AM for Jesus all the way but I am still human with God given feelings and emotions thank you very much and am entitled to my opinion just like everyone else on here whether you agree with them or not

  • You're part of the reason I don't go to church or align myself with Christians anymore. I can believe in it, but you surely don't spread love throughout the world. You only spread ignorance and hate. Jesus wouldn't have done that stuff.

  • I had to respond to you. I myself am 20 year old black gay an androgynous male who does like to go out to the Gay Clubs and dance and socialize. But I'm not very promiscuous. I haven't done anything sexual with anyone else for a year, even though there have been opportunities top mess around, and nor do I abuse drugs.

  • I feel that many gay men were deprived of the sexual and emotional connection with other males they are attracted too as young people and many of us start using sex and sometimes drugs as an escape from pain and hurt in our lives when we become teenagers and adults. Many people who are male, female, Heterosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual, Pansexual and of all ethnic backgrounds, use sex and drugs as an escape from pain. Some people never stop using sex and drugs as an escape.

  • I think many of the negative behaviors associated with us gay men such as extreme materialism, promiscuous sex, and drug abuse come form inner and outer hurts, and struggles, such as dealing with societies that do not approve us, including people within society such as family and friends and acquaintances.

  • Some people never stop using sex and drugs as an escape.Sadly many gay men, never got over the trauma of dealing with a society that disapproves of them, and turn to & continue self-destructive behavior to escape. It’s a grim situation… I could be wrong about my opinion, but I bet I’m not to far off base.

  • So "im4jesusalltheway" I am gay, and I am not no more full of lust than your average human is. I am not a "sex addict"nor" full of lust" and "nor do I want to have sex with numerous partners without a condom" plain and simple. Nor is my mind "perverted" and I don't have "lust spirits" It's funny how I don't need the "deliverance" from your god. :)

  • Apparently I love myself and others. You should learn that many gay people are not the negative beings you & many others think we are. Also you & many other people need to realize that there are cause for people being self destructive. Many of my kind don';t get the proper love and support from family, friends and acquaintances as we grow and become adults. I happen to a fortunate person who has avoided many pitfalls. I will stand up for my kind. It's along battle, but I;m up for IT! :)

  • Homosexuality should be criminalized. These sick people are an enemy and destroyers of the human race.

  • Sigh. Even if a person believes that same-sex relationships are wrong on some basis, you need to realize that criminalizing behavior only drives the behavior underground, which is a HUGE mistake from a public health standpoint. HIV thrives and spreads on stigma and discrimination. Also, it's ridiculous to call gays "an enemy and destroyers of the human race." It's people like you who are full of hate that are the problem!

  • It will be criminalized should people ever become largely aware of bug chasing. I promise you nothing less. If it ever becomes a large enough issue to be addressed by politicians, you can bet that the broad sword of political involvement will sweep up the whole gay community along with the bug chasers. Bug chasers are beyond worthless, they are actually destructive to the community they so desperately want to feel part of.

  • It will be criminalized if the general public ever becomes largely aware of bug chasers.  I promise you no less. If it is ever addressed by politicians the wide sword they'll use to fix the issue will sweep up the whole gay community along with the bug chasers. Gays will be vilified again and everything they've worked so hard for will be lost in a matter of moments.

  • Bug Chaser = a sick, demented, warped fuck who ought to die a slow, painful, agonizing death for purposely seeking this dreaded disease. When you think of people who got it, UNintentionally, and then these stupid fucks purposely getting HIV ... it's beyond reprehensible. Sick bastards!

  • I have no sympathy for bug chasers. There stupid people and should have realized that the HIV is bad news. Little kids even that know nothing about sex know HIV is death warrant and that aids is even worse. it's not like bug chasers have been warned time and time about the stupidity of there actions. If they have to learn a lesson the hard way after so many people tried to slap some sense into than so be it.

  • holy fuk

  • damn!..talk about nuts

  • vip?

  • Well I would definately assume the individuals that are looking to be infected have serious issues that need to be worked out but I think that the individuals who agree to give it to them are sociopaths and should be ashamed of themselves, even brought up on charges.

  • Definitely these individuals that endanger the lives of others need to be brough up on serious charges. Also the people that go looking to be hiv infected have some very very serious mental issues.

  • There is a strong omnipresent shame that exists in our community. Despite decades of gay pride and civil rights, we still feel the alienation from our families and the sense that we are somehow inferior. In the abscence of the 'wife/husband & kids' narrative, we have become lost and lacking of purpose. This has resulted in a void that has lead to hyper-sexualisation and self-destructive behaviours. We need to reassert our place in wider society and fill the void with something other than c*ck.

  • I think this is sad evidence of how mentally ill many homosexual people are.

  • It has nothing to do with mental illness. How is this different from smoking or alcohol/drug related illnesses? People know smoking is toxic and dangerous but still do it. People drink to excess or take drugs. Self-destructive behaviour takes all form. You obviously think being homosexual is a shameful thing so you use this to further weight your belief. Is abortion a symptom of how mentally ill straight people are?

  • It shows that homosexuality is not right and not natural just like abortion, smoking, drinking, overeating, drugs etc.... They are all sins that (obviously)lead to destruction. Homosexuality is a sin against your own body and the evidence is everywhere. The life expectancy of gay man is only 43 years old and that's without AIDS. Thats 30 years off of your life just for your lifestyle choice. How sad.

  • ... and incorrect. The claim that the average life expectancy of gay men is 43 is based on a "study" by Paul Cameron that was fatally methodologically flawed because it simply tallied *published obituaries* in gay papers. That sample is not representative of anything. "Who gets an obit" is not representative of the whole population, and it only counts those who DIE during the period. 89% of the gay male deaths in the study were due to AIDS. Read "The Cameron Group's "Gay Obituary" Study."

  • Also read "Gay life expectancy revisited," a clarification issued by co-authors of the Cameron study. Dr. Gregory Herek notes that even "[William] Bennett wrote in a letter to the New Republic (1998, February 23, page 4): 'Given what I now know, I believe there are flaws with Paul Cameron's study. One cannot extrapolate from his methodology and say that the average male homosexual life span is 43 years.'" Christians have a moral obligation to carefully investigate the actual facts ...

  • ... and not make or retell incorrect statements, so please be more skeptical in the future. In particular, be skeptical that people who believe that homosexuality is a sin are accurate sources of scientific data about gay men. As a Christian myself, I find it sad that some Christians seem all too ready to unskeptically accept without question any claim or purported scientific data that appears to support their preexisting belief system.

  • shut the fuck up

  • But people can get help with drug abuse HIV and AIDS is permanent.

  • What was once wrong? is now right! our society

    is seeing a new breed of people who worship Death): and all of its dark glory.

  • Of course "Bug Chasing" is real - put this phrase into Google and you come up with 161,000 links to this practice. Many gay men actively seek HIV infection from "Gift Givers" so that they can join the VIP HIV Club - a club so exclusive and in-demand that in the UK we recruit in excess of 2500 gay men per year. The Internet chatrooms and sex websites and today infected with Bug Chasers and Gift Givers, as are gay pubs, bars, clubs and saunas. HIV has become a lifestyle choice, not a disease.

  • I am speechless to hear that contracting a horrible disease could be considered attaining a "VIP .... exclusive and in-demand" status.  For a life of toxic but life-saving drugs? Please explain the benefit; is it a sexual thing?

  • Unbelievably many gay men view contracting HIV as inevitable and that once they have it they can enter the exclusive VIP lounge just beyond the silk ropes where the real party is happening. They never again need to worry about getting HIV as they got their wish granted and can relax in the VIP lounge. I know many guys who are now HIV VIPs, who are now trying desperately to resign from this VIP Club, but it is the one club in the world that, once you join, you never get to leave. Alive, that is.

  • Jesus. Serious Stuff.
