I don't think bug chasing is all that large a phenomenon, but there is a growing trend of having unsafe sex. Because of the new meds, HIV is now considered a treatable chronic condition, and people have become much more complacent about using condoms. Also, barebacking has become a fetish, and there's more and more condomless gay porn being made. Personally, that complacency terrifies me, and I've become the exact opposite of a bug chaser. I haven't had sex with another person in years, and I probably won't ever again for the rest of my life.
