Good initiative! There are plenty of people who shop at H&M (and elsewhere) who don't know that HIV infections are rising again all over the western world- including the US- for the first time in years. The last global AIDS awareness campaigns took place almost 20(!) years ago. People love fashion, music and celebs for all kinds of reasons. So why not attract them in this way? Hopefully one or two will indeed 'Stop and Think'.
