      abstract = {This book examines sexual fantasies and their influence on  everyday life through the stories of twenty-two men who  introduce themselves as bugchasers, i.e. gay men who  eroticize HIV. The author defines bugchasing, charts its  history and contexts, and considers how it has changed in  the age of internet and PrEP. Through the participants,  their experiences and contexts, this text also theorizes  about sexual fantasies, seeking to understand how people  define sexual fantasies and use the internet as a space to  navigate their desires, meet others, and find support.  Chapters also consider the practical implications of  fantasy, most notably, how fantasies influence mens  decisions around HIV prevention and care. This book speaks  to renewed interest in both the AIDS crisis and the  sociology of everyday life to illustrate how fantasies such  as bugchasing appear, evolve, and adapt. This book will be  of interest to scholars focused on queer studies, sexuality  studies, gender studies, and healthcare. Jaime  Garcia-Iglesias holds a PhD in Sociology from the  University of Manchester, has a degree in English from the  University of Oviedo (Spain) and in Cultural Studies from  the University of Nottingham. He has held the prestigious  Mildred Baxter Research Fellowship at the University of  Edinburgh and has led large-scale projects on sexuality,  health and internet use across the UK.},
