If you're talking about the HIPAA law, the majority of the people have no clue what it is (but they THINK they do), and what it covers. ANYBODY can share their own medical records. ANYBODY can share YOUR medical records.
The only people that CAN'T SHARE YOUR medical records are insurance companies, hospitals, doctor offices, doctors and nurses.

I think this person is taking about mychart on this app? And if that is what you’re talking about, it’s to compare medications and give insight about medication that you’re on between other positive people

No one needs to see your "MyChart".
That is private, and if it is proof for status, if they need to see that, you damned sure don't need them.
That is all stigma based, and we need to kill stigma..
So, overall, just say no to showing charts..
Unless it is someone you truly want to share it all with.
