----John Demsey, Chairman of the M.A.C AIDS Fund

"M.A.C VIVA GLAM V is a great campaign to be involved with. I feel privileged and empowered to help raise funds and awareness on the importance for Getting Tested. After being diagnosed with Hepatitis C, I knew the importance of knowing your status. Only then can you make informed and wise decisions for your health and life. Everyone, everywhere, has to Get Tested. It's the responsible choice. Knowing also helps stop spreading the disease that has no cure ... yet."
