It's not hard to find groups of society where expose to HIV is very high, which are the ideal groups to study. Many people in these groups see contracting HIV as inevitable and do not fear it as you would expect, as it is not seen as a shame or death as as it was around the late 80s.

There subculture of people are people who actively try to transmit / contract HIV, often at so called "biohazard parties".

"biohazard parties" are for HIV+ men only. you don't have to fear transmitting HIV if your partners are already HIV+.

Maybe when on treatment, otherwise superinfections are a thing and associated with poorer outcomes.

Just to interject, but I’m a bisexual male and I’ve never once heard of a biohazard party in real life
