CGiii Comment
Deeply disturbing - bug-chasing - deeply disturbing.
Hogarth expertly delivers a frightening truth - incomprehensible to most.
Eye-opening and jaw-dropping.
These people need help...urgently.

The Gift documents the phenomenon of deliberate HIV infection. The film follows the stories of two "bug chasers" who sought out "the gift" of HIV infection. Also interviewed are AIDS activist and author, Walt Odets, PhD, and HIV+ and HIV- men. The film explores the normalization and glamorization of HIV/AIDS and discusses the isolation and division caused by HIV status in the gay community.
