The origin of red ribbon

198 1 year, the first case of AIDS was found in the United States. 199 1 15 artists led by new york painter Patrick and photographer Allen set up an organization called "Visual AIDS" to show their sympathy for AIDS patients. At that time, during the Gulf War, residents of many small towns in the United States liked to hang or wear ribbons to show their support for soldiers in the Gulf region. Artists used red ribbons to mourn for their friends who died of AIDS.

Later, at the first World AIDS Conference, HIV-infected people and AIDS patients threw a long red ribbon across the venue. Supporters cut it into small pieces and tied the folded ribbon to their chests with pins. Since then, the red ribbon has become a symbol of AIDS, expressing concern, help and respect for AIDS patients.
