Bugchasing and giftgiving
Bugchasing (or bug chasing) is a slang term for a subculture of gay men who desire, and actively pursue, HIV infection.
Bugchasers "chase the bug" by seeking sexual partners who are HIV positive for the purpose of having unprotected sex and sero-coverting; giftgivers are HIV+ men who attempt to infect bugchasers with HIV.
Bugchasing is widely disdained and stigmitized in the gay community. Many people, who consider it a reprehensible activity, seek to eliminate the practice.

Bugchasers indicate various reasons for their desire to contract HIV, most commonly a sense of inevitability and a desire to take control by being active in their seroconversion. While by their very nature, bug chasers practice bareback sex, members of the bareback subculture are not necessarily bugchasers. To quote:
In reviewing the scarce unpublished and published materials on bugchasing, as well as general healthcare speculations, a common theme appears- the lumping of bug chasers with barebackers...Although these two groups share some of the same practices, namely unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), there are distinctions that differentiate bug chasing...even though all bug chasers are indeed barebackers, not all barebackers are bugchasers."
Some bugchasers organise and participate in "bug parties" or "conversion parties," sex parties where HIV positive and negative men engage in unprotected sex, in hopes of acquiring HIV ("getting the gift").
