The red ribbon is intended to be a symbol of hope that there will be a cure and that the suffering caused by this dis- ease will stop! The Red Rib- bon offers symbolic support for those living with HIV/ AIDS and for those who have lost friends, family members or loved ones to AIDS. It demonstrates that you care about the impact of this dis- ease on individuals, families, communities and society. In 2012, The Red Scarf Project began on the streets of downtown London and Stratford, by staff and volun- teers of the Regional HIV/ AIDS Connection. This was the focus for the agency of AIDS Awareness Week and leading up to World AIDS Day on December lst. Scarves are knit or crocheted by talented community members and donated for this key awareness raising event. People who found the scarves were encouraged to wear them, take them home, read the attached informa- tion tag and spread the important message of aware- ness. In the first year over 350 scarves were made and handed out. Regional HIV/AIDS Connec- tion created this community event to spread awareness about the local significance of HIV/AIDS, the significance of the red ribbon as an interna- tional symbol of AIDS aware- ness and to highlight the UNAIDS vision "Getting Zero" - Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS- related deaths. The red scarves are enlarged versions of the red ribbon, the international sym- bol of AIDS awareness. They will help raise awareness about the work going on in the area, through Huron County HIV/ AIDS Network and Regional HIV/AIDS Connection. Approximately 65,000-68,000 Canadians are currently living with the illness and approxi- mately 30% of those individuals do not know their HIV status. On Monday, December 1, 2014 the Huron County Health Unit and the Huron County HIV/AIDS Network (HCHAN) were in Goderich handing out Red Scarves that had been donated to both agencies over the year, sharing information on HIV in Huron County. This is a terrific opportunity for com- munity volunteers to assist with...knit or crochet red scarves 6 inches wide by 6 feet long over the next year, then drop them off at the Health Unit or at HCHAN's office, in the Made in Huron at #10 Huron Street in Clinton. Huron County HIV/AIDS Network is also looking for more volunteers to serve on their Board of Directors. It may be that someone in your family or circle of friends is or has been diagnosed as HIV positive. Someone close may have died from an AIDS related illness before the new treatments came along that have changed the diagnosis in most cases to a chronic illness; and after a time of grieving you feel you would like to give back to the agency that supported him/her through their final days.
