Once upon a time, in the early part of our era, AIDS was ‘JUST A DISEASE…’
Some of the American artists began to wear red ribbons to silently remember their companions who died of AIDS.
At one of the international conferences on AIDS, people living with HIV/AIDS cried out, for human AIDS programmes…
Long red ribbons were thrown over and landed on people seated at the plenary hall…
Supporters of the action cut the ribbons into small pieces then folded and pinned it on their shirts, over their hearts.


Red Ribbon
A symbol of people binding together to show support and care for people living with HIV/AIDS,
A symbol of our love for life and thirst for equality.
A symbol of our determination to participate AIDS prevention with our heart.
