International Symbol
The Red Ribbbon is an international symbol of HIV and AIDS awareness and conceived more than 17 years ago by a group of artists in NEW YORK called " Visual Aids Artists Caucus ".
The artist sought to create awareness raising symbol - an image which would be simple yet bold,able to make an impact wherever it was seen.
Why a RED RIBBON ?
Red was chosen for the HIV/AIDS awareness ribbon to symbolise blood, danger and the idea passion - including love and anger, while the tails of the ribbon were designed to point down to symbolise life fllowing away.
