So if this is well known in that particular sub-culture does the producer know or are they trying market to this irresponsible sub-culture.


Anyone have any knowledge on this?






*Bugchasing is a slang term for a subculture of gay men who desire, and actively pursue HIV infection.
The biohazard sign has been openly acknowledge for years within the gay community to mean that someone is HIZ positive. It's the first time I've every heard of a black scorpion having any meaning other than the individual is a Scorpio.

As for bug chasing and gift giving, that's also been around for a long time. I think it's kinda stupid and we have a very strict policy at HDK of never using anyone who mentions it to us either in a model application or during an interview. In fact we ask their opinion about both.

All of our films and box covers clearly state that "If you are HIV- you need to do everything you can to stay that way".
