"BUG CHASERS": HOMOSEXUALS WHO WANT TO BE HIV POSITIVE

This defies belief. I don't doubt there may be some people like this, but I would like to know where your 45% statistic came from, though. Hard to believe.

a truly shocking story, but your tone would have us believe all homosexuals are perverted to this degree.

45%? You my friend are a crazy bigot, get some help. As far as "bug chasers" and "gift givers" go, this has been around for ages, very little research on anyone's part would uncover this practice. It's not limited to just homosexuals either. Some people have a death wish and a desire to explore the morbid and the obscene, it's the way things are, you make it out to sound like a global phenomenon practiced by millions, get real.

Marvin, show me where you got your statistics.

Then I'll give your story a little more credit.

Check with the San Francisco Health Department. They will tell you.

The burden of proof is on you, Marvin, since you provided the story.

Yes, Marvin, Angloesque is right.

Give me the name of the document or the web address you got your numbers from, and I'll be happy to go check it out to verify that what you're saying here is accurate and correct.

Until then, until you can do that, it's all meaningless propaganda.

I think Marvin is evil......the statistics say there is an 85% probability.

Marvin, you are truly the Father of Fags. GCJ

EVIL!!! EVIL!!!!!!!.........WHY IS IT WHEN SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH A LIBERAL, ALL THEY CAN DO IS CALL HIM EVIL? WHEN LIBERALS BECOME ENABLERS TO HOMOSEXUALS THEY EGG ON THE VERY WAY OF LIFE THAT KILLS THEM. YOU SHOULD CARE ENOUGH ABOUT HOMOS TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH ABOUT THEMSELVES, EVEN IF IT MAKES THEM HATE YOU.

Did you make your stats up again, Marv?? It's ok, you can tell us.

Oh, and QUIT WRITING IN CAPITALS. In case you didn't realise (or care), that amounts to shouting, it's very annoying, and also difficult to read.

When will you ever learn? No one takes you seriously if you don't back up what you say. And even if you back up what you say, I can't EVER take you seriously due to the amount of hate-mongering that you have done on JU. You are one twisted individual!

This is a very interesting story, but where exactly are these statistics coming from? Even if you can back up your stats, your tone is very hateful. In case you forgot.... Aids is not just a "homosexual" disease. It effects everyone.

Hey, you should apply for an editorial position in the National Enquirer. You've got that eye-catching-titles and vaguely-cited-articles potential about you.

Very funny, moderate_spectator........I would take your advice eccept that the National Enquirer is owned by homosexuals.

Also the National Enquirer is owned by liars.

Hm fancy numbers indeed. Fake, but fancy.

There are such thing as stright people with aids that want to "share" AIDS too. Thankfully, unlike so-called bug chasers of yours, they are rare, but real.

Marvin why are you editing all of your boring articles and then not changing anything, so that they show up in the recent forum posts, Can't you get comments the normal way??

For anyone reading this later, The recent forum posts are all Marvin Cooley's. Very sad attention seeker!

in response to: sheesh: "I think Marvin is evil......the statistics say there is an 85% probability."

marvin, ever hear of sarcastic wit?

oh, and here are the best numbers I have found, quoted from: http://www.aidshealth.org/newsroom/news/news_archive/N022703d.htm

"Cabaj estimated that at least 25% of all newly infected gay men fall into a category that includes bug chasers and those who do nothing to prevent infection. Freeman then extrapolated that 10,000 new infections each year are attributable to bug chasing, as there are 40,000 new infections in the United States annually. What he failed to report, however, was that gay men only make up about 42% of those 40,000, making erroneous the estimate of 10,000 bug chasers.

If such a statistic were true, it would be very alarming, some community leaders said. But it isn't true. It is merely an estimate made by one individual, not a study, they scoffed. And to report such a number is to provide fuel to the right-wing extremists who are already using the figure to further demonize all gay men as a bunch of sex-crazed monsters.

Shortly after Freeman's article appeared, Cabaj retracted the 25% estimate. In an interview with Newsweek, he claimed he told a Rolling Stone fact checker that he never said it and asked to have it removed. And another AIDS professional, Dr. Marshall Forstein of Boston, who, according to Freeman, described bug chasers as a pervasive problem in his city, has since described his quotes in the article as "total fabrication." "

Fugmulch!!! (and I must say...your name is very fitting)........I thought you liverals believed that there is no such thing as evil. eccept when your attacking Christian Conservatives.

Ok, Ok, Ok...I get it. Marvin Cooley...you're my hero. You must have read that one book by Father Guido Sarducci.

Slainte.

Marvin, while I think most of your views on Christianity and end times are quite accurate and on the nail, I am surprised to find you using hate-terms such as "fagots", "homos", etc to try to get your point across. If I didn't know better I'd say you're out there to gain a name for yourself or some sort of following that would support your stance. It may be taken by some that your beliefs come not out of love for these people but out of mere posturing.

Hate-terms, slander and nicknames have no place in a true Christian's vocabulary especially when trying to reach a wide audience on the internet. It does nothing to further your cause and only serves to alienate those groups which you're trying to reach.
The only thing a true Christian should hate is sin.

I hope you take this into consideration in the future.

Any educated person would realize that those "statistics" are pure bull-dookie... It's actually sad to read this post, as it just shows how far we all are from understanding eachother... I truly hope that Marvin is not the hate-monger that he appears to be...

Marvin: Remember... God is love... You're not showing the "love" side of yourself... Remember that, when you talk down about anyone and/or make up any fake statistics to try and talk smack about people... It's not cool, and all you do is spread negativity... God isn't about negativity... If you think that, than you're worshipping a different God than you claim to be worshipping...

Let's all love one another... God is love... Peace...

A San Francisco health official has recently stated that 45 percent of HIV-infected men sought out the killer virus. Homosexuals with HIV are deliberately having unprotected sex with those who want to be infected!!! This is beyond sick!!! In fact, its nothing short of cold-blooded murder.

this is pure rubbish.
