Real Housewives Advocate for HIV Prevention on Capitol Hill
19 Mar
Summary
- Reality stars united on Capitol Hill for HIV prevention advocacy.
- They promoted MISTR, an online provider of the PrEP HIV prevention pill.
- Lawmakers and Senators joined the Housewives in support of the cause.
Several stars from the Real Housewives franchises recently converged on Capitol Hill to advocate for HIV prevention. The notable attendees included NeNe Leakes, Phaedra Parks, Erika Jayne, Luann de Lesseps, Melissa Gorga, Marysol Patton, and Candiace Dillard Bassett. They put aside their typical on-screen dynamics to support MISTR, a prominent online provider of PrEP, a daily HIV prevention pill accessible via virtual telehealth services.
This event was organized by DC journalist Steve Clemons and brought together members of both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate. Senator Tammy Baldwin emphasized that HIV prevention is a unifying American issue, not a partisan one. Senator Cory Booker and Representatives April Delaney and Frederica Wilson also spoke, underscoring the importance of advocacy in challenging times. This visit followed another Real Housewives appearance earlier in the year when Angie Katsanevas testified before Congress about the American Franchise Act.
