This World AIDS Day, along with Michelle Visage, Dr Ronx and Charity Kase, we’re asking, why will you wear the Red Ribbon? We're so close to ending new cases of HIV, and this is what we're doing to get there. However, people living with, or affected by HIV still face significant stigma and discrimination. Wearing the Red Ribbon is one way you can show your support. World AIDS Day is also a time we can raise awareness, raise vital funds, and remember those lost to AIDS-related illnesses. Will you join us?

Here's how you can take part:

Wear the Red Ribbon

The iconic Red Ribbon is an enduring symbol of support for anyone who has been affected by HIV and AIDS. If you're planning to fundraise for us, we can send you 100 free Red Ribbons with a collection box. Order your free materials here.

You can also purchase a Red Ribbon, along with a range of Red Ribbon brooches, tote bags and other items in our World AIDS Day shop.
