Happy Hippies take on tough issues, like youth homelessness and HIV/AIDS, and speak out to stop the stigma around these issues.
Homelessness and HIV/AIDS are really interconnected issues. There are more than 1 million Americans living with HIV today, and homeless youth are at higher risk of becoming infected. LGBT people remain disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, and 40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT.
To learn more about helping at-risk youth, Miley visited the LA LGBT Center as part of her work with MAC's Viva Glam campaign.
How you can get involved:
- Start by getting yourself tested! There's no shame or stigma in knowing your HIV status.
- Look good and do good. 100% of sales from Miley's special edition lipstick and lipglass go to help people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
