Over the past several years MISTR, the telehealth company that provides PrEP and other sexual health services to over 800,000 users, has partnered with dozens of drag artists. These artists have led campaigns that have resulted in countless LGBTQIA+ people getting on PrEP for the first time. Drag continues to be a catalyst for positive change, here are the some of the Queens who have led the movement to end HIV through prevention.
