The origin and significance of the red ribbon used for AIDS propaganda are

1, origin: In the late 1980s, people regarded AIDS as a terrible disease, and AIDS patients were discriminated against. At a world AIDS conference, HIV-infected people and AIDS patients called for people's understanding in unison. A long red ribbon was thrown over the meeting place. Supporters cut the red ribbon into small pieces and pinned the folded red ribbon to their chests with pins. The red ribbon has since become a symbol of AIDS prevention and treatment.

2. Significance: The red ribbon has become a symbol of hope, a symbol of the success of vaccine research and treatment of infected people, and a symbol of the improvement of the quality of life of HIV-infected people. The red ribbon represents a kind of support, support for HIV-infected people, support for uninfected people to continue their education, support for trying their best to find effective treatments and vaccines, and support for those who have lost their loved ones due to AIDS.
