For decades, LGBTQ+ communities have been disproportionately affected by HIV and equally burdened by barriers to care, including stigma, cost, and lack of access. But now, we are making HIV prevention is more accessible, inclusive, and affordable than ever.
With telehealth-powered care, free HIV and STD testing, and zero-cost access to PrEP, we are revolutionizing the way LGBTQ+ people protect their health.
Here’s how we are closing the gap and empowering individuals with tools for long-term wellness.
LGBTQ+ Communities & the HIV Epidemic
Gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals particularly men who have sex with men (MSM) remain among the most affected by HIV in the United States. According to the CDC:
- 70% of new HIV diagnoses are among gay and bisexual men
- Black and Latino LGBTQ+ individuals are disproportionately impacted
- Transgender women face rising rates of new infections
Despite being at higher risk, many in the LGBTQ+ community face barriers to testing, treatment, and prevention, including:
- Stigma from providers
- Fear of discrimination
- Lack of access to LGBTQ-friendly clinics
- Cost and insurance issues
We remove these obstacles with privacy-first care, cultural competence, and a 100% online experience.
At-Home HIV and STD Testing – No Clinics, No Judgment
Getting tested for HIV or STDs can be intimidating especially if you’ve experienced medical bias in the past. We offer anonymous HIV testing and free HIV and STD testing from the comfort of home.
How It Works?
- You sign up online, no paperwork or clinic visits
- We ship your testing kit in discreet packaging
- You test at home and return the kit to a certified lab
- Results are delivered securely to your private MISTR dashboard
The test includes an HIV screen and a std check for free (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis). It’s simple, fast, and tailored to real LGBTQ+ lives.
Access to Free PrEP Without the Red Tape
For HIV-negative individuals at risk, we provide easy access to PrEP that reduces HIV risk by over 99%.
What Is a PrEP Pill for HIV?
PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It’s an FDA-approved medication for HIV prevention, typically taken daily. We prescribe:
- Generic Truvada®
- Descovy® (for those eligible)
PrEP is discreet, effective, and often completely free through MISTR, whether you’re insured or not.
Why It’s Game-Changing?
- No in-person appointments
- No out-of-pocket cost for most users
- Free lab testing and doctor consults included
- Medication delivered directly to your door
This helps LGBTQ+ users take control of their sexual health without fear of judgment, disclosure, or delay.
DoxyPEP: STI Prevention Beyond HIV
HIV isn’t the only concern for sexually active individuals. That’s why we also offers DoxyPEP, a prep pill taken after sex to reduce the risk of bacterial STIs like:
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
This extra layer of prevention is especially helpful for high-risk groups, including MSM and trans women. We can help determine if DoxyPEP is right for you during your telehealth visit.
100% Privacy, Inclusivity, and Control
Many LGBTQ+ individuals delay or avoid testing and treatment because of privacy concerns or past negative experiences. We eliminate those stressors.
What Makes MISTR LGBTQ+ Friendly:
- LGBTQ+ led and community-centered
- Cultural competence in provider training
- Discreet testing and delivery
- No in-person appointments
- Safe, home-based care for all identities and expressions
From transgender-inclusive care to gay men seeking fast PrEP access, We meet you where you are, without judgment or complexity.

- Gay or bisexual men
- Transgender individuals
- People with multiple sexual partners
- Those who don’t always use condoms
