World AIDS Day

1st  December 

In 2012, World AIDS Day is the 25th time that the day is being observed. The awareness day was first established by the World Health Organization, in 1988.

The Red Ribbon:

30 years after the first cases of HIV – the red ribbon is the universal symbol of awareness and support for those living with HIV. The red ribbon was the first ever ribbon symbol, inspiring later versions such as the pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness.
