The Daily Mail reported on 11 October 2026 that MISTR, an LGBTQ+ telehealth platform, held its second annual National PrEP Day party in West Hollywood on Saturday night, with Christina Aguilera and Kesha among the most prominent guests [1]. According to the story, the event was held "to raise awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), reduce stigma surrounding HIV and expand healthcare access" [1]. Other attendees named in the report included Chappell Roan, Demi Lovato and Kim Petras [1].

## What the story says about PrEP and HIV

The article describes PrEP as drugs that lower the risk of acquiring HIV for a person who is HIV-negative, and it puts that risk reduction at 99 percent [1]. The report also says that antiretroviral therapy (ART), which it describes as suppressing the virus in people living with HIV, has been available since 1996 [1]. It adds that research in recent years has shown ART can suppress HIV to the point that the virus is not passed to sexual partners [1].

These health statements occupy a few sentences at the end of a piece that otherwise concentrates on the guests' red-carpet outfits [1]. The article names no study, guideline or public health agency as the basis for the 99 percent figure or the transmission claim [1]. For a clinical reader, the story is therefore best read as a record of how PrEP is being presented to a general audience, not as a source of clinical evidence [1].

## Why it matters to care teams

- The host is a telehealth platform, and the story frames the event's aims as raising PrEP awareness, reducing HIV stigma and expanding access to care, so a virtual care organisation is the one carrying this public message [1].
- The coverage appeared in a celebrity news story written by an entertainment reporter, and it carried the health figures without sourcing or further context [1].
- The story says the organisation seeks to stop stigma regarding HIV, which places stigma alongside access in how the event was presented [1].

For teams that hold consultations by video, the privacy terms of the meeting tool are part of the picture. SmartMeet, for example, includes a Business Associate Agreement that clinics and health teams accept when they sign up, although compliance also depends on how a team uses any tool [F].

## What to watch next

- Whether the event becomes a regular fixture: the report describes this as the second annual party and says the first was held in West Hollywood last year, with Demi Lovato and Cardi B among the attendees [1].
- Whether future coverage of the event gives the health message more space, and whether it cites the evidence behind claims such as the 99 percent risk reduction [1].
- How telehealth organisations position themselves around HIV prevention and access, given that MISTR framed this event around expanding healthcare access [1].

## Limitations

This account rests on a single entertainment news story. That story gives no detail about MISTR's services, prescribing model or patient numbers, and it gives no sourcing for its clinical statements [1]. Nothing here should be read as a measure of PrEP's effectiveness in any population; the figures are reported only as the article stated them [1].
