I& #39;m writing a Mission system, and I have a MissionGiver, and because of how my brain works
Here, did you know there& #39;s a subculture of folks who seek out HIV infections? With the term for the person infecting them being the "gift giver"? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xyen3n/the-sex-roulette-parties-where-one-guest-is-secretly-hiv-positive">https://www.vice.com/en_us/art...

I can& #39;t even find the good expose-style articles I read previously. Looks like there& #39;s been proper actual studies on the culture done since then, too.
Anyways there. It& #39;s an odd culture to dig into and learn about. I don& #39;t even remember how I stumbled across it.

The most interesting part of all of this is, remember: this culture originates from before HIV had effective treatments. https://outragemag.com/paolo-plhiv-spread-gift/">https://outragemag.com/paolo-plh...
Anyways, there& #39;s a lot of angles to the rabbit hole, and it originates from apparently 2003? At least in terms of when it became semi-public knowledge. Have fun learning. Yay. https://www.newsweek.com/rolling-stones-hiv-story-wildly-exaggerated-135057">https://www.newsweek.com/rolling-s...
The best bit is to read the Newsweek et al stories from 2003, about how it& #39;s wildly exaggerated, and then scroll up this thread and read the more recent ones (or find them yourselves) that further codify and lock down the idea that: yes this was always very much real.
