Thom Collins- Playgirls ‘Man of the Month’ for January 1991 & Vintage Beefcake

Thom Collins was a fitness model who was recruited to do a spread in Playgirl. He agreed. In January of 1991 the issue with him as Man of the Month would debut and be his only time in the magazine. What separates him from the other men up to that point? He was their first man of the month who was openly HIV+, and used whatever attention he got from doing that nude spread to spread awareness of what it was to be HIV+ and the misconceptions most had about the disease.

He was hung and hot.

Gorgeous face. Is he still alive?

I wonder if he’s still alive. The only info I could find is he was born and raised in Los Angeles. His birthday is April 6, 1972. He was only 18 when he did this photoshoot.

R8 I am not certain, but he was still alive as of a decade ago.

“ As of 2013 has lived 27 years as HIV positive, and has acknowledged so publicly. He calls himself "the Original USA Queen of the Desert," a reference to the 1994 Australian movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)”

That’s an 18 year old? And was he really infected at 14?

by Anonymousreply 14January 29, 2024 8:32 PM

Yes. He got HIV at 14.

I think his life partner gave it to him. He was a teen and the man he dated was much older. They stayed together until his partner died in 2012. He was only 14 when he got it. He was 16 in this pic and that’s the man he was with.
