Analysis:

199 1, 15 Artists led by new york painter Patrick and photographer Allen set up an organization called Visual AIDS, hoping to create a visual symbol to show sympathy for AIDS patients. Artists chose red, which represents vitality, * * and blood, as the color of the ribbon, advocating respect for the human rights of AIDS patients and promoting social welfare activities to prevent AIDS, which soon spread all over the world.

At the subsequent 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. Since then, the red ribbon has become a symbol of AIDS prevention and treatment, symbolizing the care and support for HIV-infected people and patients, the love for life and the desire for equality, and the willingness to participate in AIDS prevention and treatment.

Later, many caring organizations, medical institutions and consultation telephones concerned about AIDS were named after "Red Ribbon". The red ribbon has gradually become an international symbol calling on the whole society to pay attention to AIDS prevention, understanding and care for HIV-infected people and AIDS patients.

In the first China AIDS and STD prevention conference and other meetings and activities, the staff sent a red ribbon. China's large-scale public welfare literary evening for World AIDS Day was also named "Floating Red Ribbon".
