The red ribbon is the universal symbol of awareness and support for people living with HIV. It was first devised in 1991, when twelve artists met to discuss a new project for Visual AIDS, a New York HIV-awareness arts organisation.
It was there that they came up with what would become one of the most recognised symbols of the decade: the red ribbon, worn to signify awareness and support for people living with HIV. The artists wanted to create a visual expression of compassion for people living with HIV and chose red for its boldness, and for its symbolic associations with passion, the heart and love.
You can purchase red ribbons, or red ribbons brooches from National AIDS Trust’s shop.
We also send out a pack of 100 fabric red ribbons FREE to anybody fundraising for National AIDS Trust in the UK. For more information, visit the World AIDS Day fundraising page.
We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to end the HIV epidemic for good, but we must also continue fighting the stigma still experienced by people living with HIV. By supporting National AIDS Trust this World AIDS Day, you’ll be helping to stop HIV from standing in the way of health, dignity and equality, and to end new HIV transmissions.
