Absolutely Sickening

Jeff Haley had brought up this topic of bug chasing and I just read something about it.  If anyone reads this article, be warned, you might actually be sick to your stomach.  These guys seem like sadistic sociopaths, not 'gay men in search of an identitiy' or 'gay men willing to give other gays an identity'.  And the term 'gift givers'?  What the hell is that?  Am I really living in a society with people that insane?  The last quote in the article  will give you chills.  People like this are what's wrong with the world.

How is everyone here?  Haven't been on in a while.

Yeah, it's amazing because the rest of us in the 'sane' world (or hopefully so), are trying not to promote it's spread.  It's almost like someone saying 'I want bubonic plague' or 'I want to give someone smallpox'.  Absolutely baffles the mind.

Bug Chasers...Damn, that is utterly perverse. What nexts, large groups of teenagers gathering to eat bowls of malignant tumors? People are alarming. I was just starting to regain my trust in humanity.

I just spoke with the woman who with I had my risky encounter.  I actually feel much better now.  I can sit comfortably in my own skin. I had sex with her soon after we met, the condom failed, so the next day my anxiety began to trample all over my logic. In my head, she was a diseased creature who slivered her way through life with no regard for her health or the health of the people around her.  But after a long conversation it turns out that she is actually a really nice lady.  She has several kids, works hard, and takes care of herself. She gets tested twice a year and said she always uses condoms.   She said that the only time a condom ever broke was with me. She likes to drink so a broken condom could go unnoticed so I am still going to get tested, but I do feel better about my whole situation.

How is everybody else doing? Is the anxiety managable?
