Georgia is the number one state in the country for new HIV
transmissions. The CDC has called HIV in Atlanta an epidemic as one
in 51 people in Atlanta may be living with HIV/AIDS at any given
time, which is on par with some of the highest rates of HIV
infections in the world. Some zip codes in the Atlanta area have
rates of HIV/AIDS that are six-to-eight times higher than the
national average.
“There is an undeniable HIV crisis in Georgia with not enough
resources available,” said Tristan Schukraft, CEO and Founder of
MISTR. “This program addresses the community's need for care
options and increased sexual health education. I am proud that
MISTR continues to democratize access to PrEP, DoxyPEP, and long
term-HIV care and show up for these underserved individuals.”
This program comes on the heels of MISTR’s DoxyPEP launch in
April of this year. The brand’s expansion into post-exposure care
furthered its plans to solve the issue of access and adherence to
PrEP and HIV care, and came at a time when the rate of STIs were on
the rise — in 2022, more than 2.5 million cases of syphilis,
gonorrhea, and chlamydia were reported in the U.S.; of that
population, gay and bisexual men are disproportionately
affected.
