The Red Ribbon is intended to be a symbol of hope.  It can only be a useful symbol in the long run when attached to words and deeds that actually make a difference.. Wear one all-year round as a tribute to the millions of people living with or affected by HIV and AIDS worldwide.  It is the first step in the war against the scourge.  Do something MORE today!  Show you care and are concerned about those living with HIV, for those who have died and for those who care for and support those directly affected.
