    • 2016 November 30, Joseph Channing, “An Undercover Look Inside the World of HIV Bug Chasers and Gift Givers”, in SF Weekly[1]:
      It is difficult to say exactly how many people are intentionally spreading HIV, but in any given week, in the San Francisco Bay Area personals section of Craigslist, it is not unusual to find at least a couple of personal ads by bug chasers or gift givers.
  2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see gift,‎ giver.
