Red Scarf
Brought to you by Regional HIV/AIDS Connection (RHAC), Red Scarf is a locally-made movement raising awareness and stopping the stigma around HIV, one Red Scarf at a time. The red ribbon has been an international symbol for AIDS awareness since 1991. Inspired by the iconic ribbon, we began welcoming community members to wear scarves in every shade of red for World AIDS Day. Since 2012, volunteers have made and donated more than 12,000 scarves! Every Red Scarf is tagged with information about HIV and shared with our community to be worn as symbols of solidarity, support, and awareness. Red Scarf is one of the warmest ways to honour World AIDS Day. Showing your support for people living with, affected by, and at-risk for HIV/AIDS is as easy as wearing a Red Scarf with pride, attending a Red Scarf event, or making a donation in support of RHAC's programs and services.
