When did the red ribbon become the symbol of World AIDS Day?

It was in the late 1980s that the red ribbon became the symbol of World AIDS Day.

China Red Ribbon (CRR) originated from the AIDS Orphans Relief Action Forum in 2002. It was initiated by caring people from all over the country, prepared in 2004 and formally established in early 2005. As a non-governmental, non-religious non-governmental public welfare organization, CRR is committed to advocating civic awareness, promoting the concept of social service, and letting more people know about AIDS through the interaction between the network society and the real society.

And encourage and create opportunities for more people to invest and participate in social services and social development. China Red Ribbon aims to prevent AIDS and help orphans! Focus on what you can do.

On the one hand, it seeks, mobilizes and integrates the help of enthusiastic people from all walks of life on a voluntary basis, and on the other hand, it provides a platform for all volunteers who are willing to contribute to AIDS prevention and AIDS orphans. In order to prevent AIDS and help AIDS orphans, all effective ways of cooperation are welcome.
