The video aims to raise awareness of the preventative HIV medication.
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 winner Sasha Colby recently teamed up with the just-announced Drag Race All Stars 8 contestant Heidi N Closet for the latest installment in MISTR’s GOT PrEP video series to see if Colby is a “good candidate” for PrEP.
The video opens with Dr. Closet fangirling over Colby before offering a consultation regarding PrEP. The doctor interviews Colby about her sexual preparation and protection when she goes out to tour the world.
According to the CDC, only 25 percent of the 1.2 million people in the U.S. who would benefit from PrEP actually use it.
MISTR, a gay owned and operated telehealth platform, aims to increase awareness of PrEP to bring that number closer to 100 percent, both through videos like this and by providing easy, discreet online access to no-cost pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and long-term HIV care in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
Countries like Australia and England have recently been vocal about the use of PrEP helping their population move toward an elimination of new HIV infections, while U.S. states like Tennessee have implemented laws to prohibit federal funding for HIV-related services.
Attacks like this make telehealth services like MISTR all the more important stateside to avoid the total elimination of access to PrEP.
