I have just finished reading an article at Huffington Post which states that on Friday October 7, 2011, a court in Minneapolis convicted a man of first-degree assault for the transmission of HIV. Now you might be thinking that it’s a criminal offense to intentionally infect another person with HIV in many parts of the world (which it is), but the content of this article is disturbing based on the fact that it has been reported that the infected partner disclosed his HIV status prior to engaging in unprotected sex with the victim, who consented to having unprotected sex with the man, but the victim later changed their mind once they became HIV-positive and they had the man charged.
I am writing this article based on my recent findings from search engine referrals to BradBare.com, because I have noticed an interesting trend on a particular subject and I thought it would be useful to explore this topic in more detail. The statistics made available to me using my Site Stats do not show me individual people visiting BradBare.com (they are only basic stats), the data is simply presented to me as a summary of the search engine terms used by visitors who find their way to my website as well as the most popular posts I have published.
Some HIV-negative men who have made the decision to get the “bug” or the “gift” are so sure that they want to “convert” and become HIV-positive that they aim to have unprotected sex with as many HIV-positive men as possible to achieve their goal. To help make this possible, bug chasers may choose to attend parties along with gift givers to help them sero-convert. These parties are referred to as “conversion parties” or “bug parties”, because the party participants attend with the intention of sero-converting men from having an HIV-negative status to an HIV-positive status.
The words “bug chaser” and “gift giver” might appear to innocently describe pursuing insects or offering presents, but they actually have a more serious meaning when associated with sex. Bug chasing and gift giving are the words used to describe the sexual behaviors of some barebackers, but it’s important to highlight that not all barebackers are bug chasers or gift givers. Another important consideration is that bug chasing and gift giving can be both fantasy or reality based, meaning that the actual number of participants may be less than what is perceived.
Barebackers interested in unprotected sex encounters with a number of guys at the same time find that bareback sex parties are a popular option. Not all barebackers enjoy attending barebacking parties, some prefer more intimate one-on-one sessions with a partner or fuck buddy or in a monogamous relationship structure. Bareback sex parties are not an option for some men, as getting a group of men together to fuck raw can be a challenge particularly for those living in a rural area. For this reason, bareback sex parties are often held in cities or large towns where travel and access is made easier. You can still find bareback parties in rural areas, but the number of participants may be smaller, unless a network of men seeking bareback encounters has been established.
According to an article by XBIZ, Treasure Island Media has been issued with three citations by Cal/OSHA totaling $24,470 in penalties for what is believed to be possible safety violations by the bareback porn studio. The studio is appealing these citations according to the report.

The British Board of Film Classification classified the LoadXXX and Rentboy UK bareback video production British Bareback Vacation on November 5, 2007 and not long after this date controversy erupted over a report that three models became infected with HIV during production of British Bareback Vacation. The performers in the film were Brian Daniels, James Allen, Carlos Logan, Steve Daniels, Sam Storm, John Gadsby, Will Forbes and Jon Janes. As this article includes references to bareback porn performers allegedly being infected with HIV, please consider whether you are comfortable reading this article.
