Members discussed whether to show a face photo on an HIV support community profile, with stigma and fear of being recognized as HIV-positive being the main reasons some choose not to. Several members shared that while they respect personal comfort, having a photo and an active profile helps build trust and meaningful connection within the community. A recurring theme was that members are accepted either way, with the most important thing being participation and showing up for one another.

My fear of stigma on this site is very low. I am just one of the many of us living with hiv.

Ok guys, remember EVERY guy is hung. Yep, it's true. EVERY SINGLE GUY is hung. Some are hung like horses 🐴, some are hung like hamsters 🐹.

Had someone complain to me one time because I had no picture. I've had a picture of myself on here since the sites inception. All the person had to do was look at my pin board and see I had several pictures there. They got what they put in, nothing. Then complain about nobody saying nothing to them when they had a blank profile (and no picture, lol). Um, ok. LOL.
