Bug Chasers: The Men Who Want HIV
Documentary
Synopsis
'Itâs a Sin' actor Nathaniel Hall investigates the world of âbug chasingâ, an extreme and controversial sexual fetish where people actively seek to contract HIV. The actor meets a 'chaser', a man who doesnât take PrEP â a medication which prevents HIV from getting into the body â in his quest to contract the virus. He also interviews another man, a so-called âgifterâ with a detectable viral load, who is happy to transmit the virus to willing recipients. More than four decades since the first HIV diagnosis, the virus still has the potential to cause serious illness, so why do those within the âbug chasingâ community embrace it?
