Members discussed the question of getting a PA piercing after an HIV diagnosis, sharing both personal experiences and practical concerns about hygiene, healing, and complications. Several members raised caution about potential issues such as urination splashing when the piercing opening enlarges, exposure to bacteria during intimate contact, and damage to dental work, while others reassured that once fully healed the piercing is no longer open to infection and can be maintained with normal hygiene. A recurring theme was the importance of proper aftercare, understanding the risks, and making an informed personal choice, with members sharing helpful resources and lighthearted humor about the topic.
