'It’s a Sin' actor Nathaniel 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. More than four decades since the first HIV diagnosis, the virus still has the potential to cause serious illness, so why do those within the ‘bug chasing’ community embrace it?

ada the leading man is my tpye
Burkettonhe This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
