Me and my friend were talking about how awful that would be and i got curious and wanted to find out if its true. Thanks for any answers.

 You can't wave a magic wand and make the world a better place. I have not heard of a club like this but it wouldn't surprise me if there was one. Some people are disgusting. There's no nice way of saying it.
Personally, I think anyone who sends someone else a black rose under these circumstances, needs a bashing.

This myth/story tells of parties (called Bug Parties) where young homosexual men go to get 'The Gift'. Usually involves one man having multiple sexual partners at any one time. These partners are usually HIV positive and have the ability to pass it on to the man they have sex with. The premise behind these parties is that being a homosexual man, you are more likely to get the disease therefore, why not go out and actively contract it instead of waiting.
Of course, homosexual men are not at higher risk its actually heterosexual couples. Due to the hardcore advertising campaign aimed at homosexual men in the mid eighties they are actually a much more informed group than everyone else.

This urban legend is hundreds of years old.
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/aidsmary.asp
They used to have one here in Britain that you'd be in a pub and someone would bite you and say "Now you have plague too."
It scares people because it's moral. You get "punished" for having un-protected sex with a stranger. It's one of these stories invented to scare you into being safe.
It's no more real than the Bogey Man or as he was called when he was invented: Napoleon Bonaparte.
Good message though. Condoms for the Win!
Good Luck!! xx

 I'm sorry but there are a lots of people like that and that's why you have to ALWAYS USE CONDOM.
When you do that you should't be so afraid and if he's cut like in his mouth or bleeding that is also way how you can get it.
But the chance that it will happen to you it's little. Just have sex with guys you know not total strangers

 Well that is just HORRIBLE. I hope that there's no club like that - though, I've heard of the case that RCN mentioned. There are some people so embittered by their own situation, that they wish to spread the curse to others. So while I hope to God there is no club like that, there very well may be!
The best you can do is be careful, make sure that you ALWAYS protect yourself and try to get to know someone before you take a roll in the hay. But, always, always, always protect yourself. It may seem extreme, but think of everyone as being potentially infected with HIV or another STD, because the truth is - you never know who is. They might not know it themselves.
Good luck and be safe, sweetness!!

 That does sound awful. We know, here in the United States, if someone infect another, knowing they are infected, the may spend the rest of their life in prison to prevent from any other intentional and malicious behavior.
In Africa, a minister spoke to someone who openly sleeps with many women, having hiv. His answer for why, was basically, what does it matter. Someone didn't care and infected him, so why not. Basically, he gave up on himself, and on caring for anyone else.
I wouldn't doubt their being or had been at one time a club of what I'd call "killers" who'd do something like that. I just have not personally heard of their existence.
