Akon and others help H&M fight AIDSSeveral celebrities, including Akon, Sky Ferreira (pictured), The Misshapes, Scissor Sisters and Keri Hilson, have teamed up with fashion retailer H&M in the fight against AIDS. “I’ve had a lot of friends who’ve been in the situation where their friends and family have been affected by HIV. It’s not like we have a cure for HIV, we only have prevention. Make sure you are protected so that you don’t ever have to worry about it. Ever,” Akon said in a statement. The Fashion Against AIDS collection will be available in H&M stores and online from April 26th, with 25% of sales going to HIV and AIDS prevention charities and projects.
