I think, for obvious reasons, this article needs to be significantly revised. There is very little verifiable information that this actually occurs, other than a bunch of stuff people put on the internet (which Wikipedia does not accept as a verifiable source, especially on something of of a public health issue). It also seems to confuse barebacking, a highly risky sexual activity, with a desire to get HIV/AID's. Like the supposed phenomena of women sabotaging their birth-control methods to intentionally mislead men, this article has blown up a handful of instances into something far more widespread than it actually is. I'm going to go through the article and judiciously edit it down to actual verifiable facts. SiberioS (talk) 19:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is notable that in Maskowitz and Roloff, that the researchers indicate that there is a legitimate subculture on the internet, but to the extent that it actually practices what it claims is unknown. It makes the point of noting that bare backing subculture encourages, and generally requires, "Serosorting" ie: that negative men bareback with negative men and positive with positive. Of people who are self-conciously identified as "bugchasers" most are seemingly apathetic about it, simply expressing a preference to not know their partners sero-status, which is less an active search than a purely apathetic attitude towards whether one would get it.
