Exclusive: Charli XCX on MISTR and Carrying Madonna's Torch
Charli XCX sits down with Newsweek to talk National PrEP Day, teaming up with MISTR, and carrying forward Madonna’s torch.
Pop star Charli XCX has taken it upon herself to carry on Madonna's legacy of advocating for HIV/AIDS awareness. At a recent event in West Hollywood to celebrate National PrEP Day, organized by telehealth platform MISTR, Charli joined other celebrities like Chappell Roan, Khloé Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Emily Ratajkowski, Tinashe and Colton Haynes to shine a light on the importance of sexual health.
Having grown up in the queer community and finding comfort there, Charli understands the significance of destigmatizing HIV prevention and hopes events like these help bring the conversation to mainstream cultural spaces.
