Bug Chasers: The Men Who Want HIV | Channel 4 Documentaries

'It’s a Sin' actor Nathaniel J Hall investigates the world of ‘bug chasing’, an extreme and controversial sexual fetish where people actively seek to contract HIV. The actor meets a 'chaser', a man who doesn’t take PrEP – a medication which prevents HIV from getting into the body – in his quest to contract the virus. He also interviews another man, a so-called ‘gifter’ with a detectable viral load, who is happy to transmit the virus to willing recipients.
