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. 001449379 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (EBSCOhost, viewed September 21, 2022) 001449379 650_0 $$aGay men$$xSexual behavior. 001449379 650_0 $$aSexual fantasies. 001449379 650_0 $$aHIV-positive persons$$xSexual behavior. 001449379 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449379 77608 $$iPrint version$$aGarcía-Iglesias, Jaime$$tEroticizing of HIV viral fantasies$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2022]$$z3031113519$$w(OCoLC)1330403915 001449379 830_0 $$aHealth, technology, and society. 001449379 852__ $$bebk 001449379 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-11352-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449379 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449379$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449379 980__ $$aBIB 001449379 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449379 982__ $$aEbook 001449379 983__ $$aOnline 001449379 994__ $$a92$$bISE
