How you can support World AIDS Day?

There are many ways in which you can support World AIDS Day. For example:

• Raise awareness of HIV and AIDS in your area
• Wear a red ribbon and ask others to do the same
• Protect yourself and your partners - this is the first and best way to stop the spread of HIV
• If you are worried - get tested.

At school or work, you can support World AIDS Day by:

• Having a dressing up, down or fancy dress day
• Putting up some posters - get people talking
• Making and selling red ribbons
• Organising a creative writing/poster campaign
• Setting up a debate or a quiz - there're lots of ideas for topics on our site
• Cooking an international meal or having a cake sale
• Arranging a sponsored three-legged race or balloon release
• Getting your friends, family, colleagues or pupils to express their feelings and expand their knowledge about AIDS
• Using your imagination!

The artists sought to create an image which would be simple yet bold, able to make an impact wherever it was seen. Red was chosen to symbolise blood and danger. The tails of the ribbon pointing down was chosen to symbolise life flowing away.

In the years since its debut at the Tony Awards in New York, the image of the ribbon has been seen all around the world. Volunteers in many countries give their time and effort to produce the enormous number of ribbons required around the globe on World AIDS Day.

Red Ribbons have been made in an enormous variety of designs, incorporating hearts, human torsos, and national emblems to name but a few. Red ribbons need not only be the small lapel type which have been most common; giant ribbons that have appeared everywhere have made a huge impact on those who saw them and in the media.

Ribbons of silk, metal, pottery, glass, plastic and even human bodies have helped to promote the message of awareness and solidarity.

The tremendous success of the Red Ribbon has seen the concept borrowed by many other organisations and we now have ribbons of every colour and hue, promoting other causes for awareness. We can be pleased that HIV/AIDS has been able to benefit many other worthwhile causes in this way.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!

The Red Ribbon is simple was in which we can, as individuals or in groups, declare our support for those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. It allows us to show that those who have died are not forgotten, and that we care about those living with the difficulties of a chronic condition.

Anyone can wear a Red Ribbon. No matter who you are, you can demonstrate that you have an understanding of the issues surrounding HIV and AIDS by wearing a Red Ribbon, and showing that you care.

WEAR A RED RIBBON WITH PRIDE & JOIN HANDS WITH OTHERS IN BATTLING ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THE WORLD IS FACING...
