American singer, songwriter, actress and LGBT rights activist Cyndi Lauper is among a number of celebrities (like Lady Gaga, Nicky Minaj and Ricky Martin) who have supported the M.A.C. AIDS Fund, which has raised $224 million to fight HIV/AIDS.More to say that Cyndi Lauper & Friends: Home for the Holidays will be presented Dec. 4 at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan to help raise awareness about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth homelessness. �A lot of people are feeling bad about themselves, and when you�re a teenager you�re self destructive,� Lauper tells PEOPLE. �But what seems terrible now won�t be terrible 10 years down the line. It�s not as bleak as it looks. You�ll get through it. You are precious. Protect yourself.�
Those words of caution come on World AIDS Day, a time to remember those who�ve lost their lives and those who are fighting to stay alive. �If you get yourself sick with AIDS, you�ll either be dead or living with AIDS,� Lauper says firmly. �It�s hard to go through life with a compromised immune system. AIDS is 100 percent preventable � but it�s 100 percent not curable.�
Cyndi Lauper thinks that those who wants to prevent HIV/AIDS should wear leapstick. she believes that lipstick is a good way to remind young girls about the dangers of HIV/AIDS. This 58 year old singer said, "as a mother, you could give your girl a Viva Glam lipstick and with it, the message and reminder that every time she puts it on to go out, be protected."
