The Red Ribbon offers a symbol of hope and support for those living with HIV; while reminding us that HIV and AIDS continue to grow around the world. But Red Ribbons alone are not enough; the Red Ribbon is only a public symbol that needs to be attached to words and deeds that actually make a difference in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
