The bugchasing/giftgiving phenomenon gained press coverage and notoriety after "Rolling Stone" magazine printed an article in 2003 by a freelance journalist, Gregory Freeman, entitled "Bug Chasers: The men who long to be HIV+". The article quoted San Francisco health services director Dr. Bob Cabaj as saying that as many as 25 percent of new HIV infections a year (about ten thousand people) were from men who had contracted it on purpose. Cabaj disputed the quotes attributed to him, but "Rolling Stone" stands behind the story. Dr. Marshall Forstein, the medical director of mental health and addiction services at Boston's Fenway Community Health, was reported to have said that the clinic regularly saw bug-chasers and warned that it was growing. He called the statements "entirely a fabrication," but "Rolling Stone" also stood behind them. Steven Weinstein, then editor of the "New York Blade", an established gay newspaper, called the article "less than truthful" and attributed it to a "Rolling Stone" editor (whom he did not name) recently recruited from a competing "lad mag" who wished to make a sensation for himself.
