Section7 The Red Ribbon 82 Together for HIV and AIDS prevention The red ribbon started as a ‘grass roots’ effort to show support for people living with HIV or AIDS, and as a result there is no official red ribbon, and many people make their own. Today the red ribbon is the international symbol of HIV and AIDS awareness and is worn by people all year round and particularly around World AIDS Day. It is a symbol of hope. Hope that the search for a vaccine and cure to stop AIDS is successful and the quality of life improves for people living with AIDS. It is also a message of support for people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. To make your own ribbons, get some ordinary red ribbon, about 1.5 cm wide and cut it into strips about 15 cm long. Then fold at the top into an inverted ‘V’ shape and put a safety pin through the centre which you use to attach the ribbon to your clothing. 5. Make a list of ways people living with HIV or AIDS are cared for in your community. Where would someone living with HIV or AIDS go for help? ● Is there a hospital or a special clinic in your community? ● Are there any community associations that help people living with HIV or AIDS and their families? ● How much care do families need to give when someone is ill with AIDS or any other illness? Share what you learn with your team mates and see if they know about any other services. 6. Make a poster about what people living with HIV or AIDS need to help them stay well or manage better when they do get ill. Consider: ● What do you need to stay well or to get better when you get sick? (for example, clean water, shelter, someone to look after you) ● What extra things does a person living with HIV or AIDS needs to stay well (drugs, good food and people to support them) Share your poster with your group and one other person – a relative, a teacher, a friend. 7. Illustrate how AIDS can affect many different people. Draw the different faces of AIDS. Think of the different people who could have HIV or AIDS or be related to them, for example, a man, a woman, a child, someone young or old, people of different colours and religions. Share your drawing with your group and discuss. 8. Imagine what it is like to be openly living with HIV or AIDS. ● Make a list of reasons why people would not want others to know they are living with HIV or AIDS.
● What are the barriers in your community to openly living with HIV or AIDS? Discuss with your group. Why? By knowing how HIV is not spread you can reduce your fear of AIDS. You will also be able to provide care and comfort, without fear, to someone living with AIDS. Section7 9. Is there someone openly living with HIV or AIDS in your community or country or someone who is an advocate for the rights of people living with HIV and AIDS? Write a letter to encourage him or her in this difficult role. Share the letter with others in your club and ask others to sign it. Ask your coach to help you send it to the person. How? For each picture, write down what the people are doing. You will learn that HIV is not spread through any of these activities. Together for HIV and AIDS prevention 83
