Hey, why not? I'm trying to get Herpes.
I've seen if you have it, you get to go hiking, bike ride, meet gorgeous women, go rafting....
and there's already the "pro ana" and "voluntary amputation" communities carrying their respective flags high in the air, so why not this?
It wouldn't surprise me if such people exist and NOT just in the Gay community.
So Why?
I read some time back that some gangs liked to have unprotected sex with multiple partners to prove how fearless they are. Kind of a sex version of Russian Roulette.
After all, we already know about those folks who know they're infected who deliberately have unprotected sex without telling their partners they have the virus. Some do it out of some form of psychotic revenge, some do it because they insist on that natural feel and don't care if they infect someone.
And let's not forget that they get to be a prophet that gets visited by angels
Shrinks are probably working overtime diagnosing and classifying all sorts of new mental illnesses because there's a whole lot of strange people out there.
But hey let's also remember there's all sorts of myths surrounding HIV. Like condoms are perfect, or oral sex has no risk at all, or women can't give it to men, or straight people aren't the fastest growing group of new infections, or that you're 100% guaranteed to get it in one go if you get fucked by someone infected.
Of course besides stuff that I've gotten from articles linked to in this entry most of my evidence is anecdotal and I must remember that the plural of anecdote is not data so take this all with a grain of salt guys.
