WHY
HIV/AIDS has affected the world like no other disease in modern times. In most industrialized nations, AIDS is no longer considered a death sentence, and it is currently considered a manageable condition through improved treatment and education. This simply is not so in the rest of the world! In most countries, particularly in developing nations in Latin America, Africa and Asia, the acceptance, treatment and education of HIV/AIDS is 10 to 15 years behind North America and Europe. Cultural stigmas still prevail in even some of the most modern nations in our world.
The red ribbon became an international symbol of AIDS awareness during the early 1990s. The global symbol of HIV/AIDS was the brainchild of a group of talented American artists in New York who were desperate to raise awareness and support for people living with HVI/AIDS in their community; this idea became prominent at the 1991 Tony Awards. Years later, the red ribbon still exists to unite people against the global pandemic. Hence, our name reflects this ideology as Red Ribbon Adventures.
