AIDS World Day
On 1 December is celebrated as World AIDS Day, but did you know the history of AIDS day, and why to use the emblem Red Ribbon (Red Ribbon)? Here I want to share information on the beginning day of AIDS red ribbon symbol, as well as prevention, that I got from various sources.
The concept of World AIDS Day originated from the Summit of Ministers of Health for AIDS Prevention Program in 1988. This concept was later taken over by governments, international agencies and charities (Charities) worldwide. World AIDS Day is commemorated on December 1st to raise awareness of the global AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. From 1988 to 2004, UNAIDS spearheaded the World AIDS Day campaign, choosing annual themes in consultation with the institutions of other global health.
In 2005 this responsibility was taken over by the World AIDS Campaign, which then chose Stop AIDS: Stay Promise as the main theme of the warnings until World AIDS Day 2010, with sub-themes are more specific are elected each year. This theme is not used only for World AIDS Day but also throughout the year in an effort to increase awareness of HIV / AIDS in the context of other global events including the G8 Summit. World AIDS Campaign also conducts local campaigns around the world, like the Student Stop AIDS Campaign, an HIV awareness campaign targeting young people in Great Britain. (Source : Aids Indonesia)
Red Ribbon Symbol
Each anniversary of AIDS December 1, we always use the symbol of Red Ribbon (Red Ribbon) as a symbol of awareness against the spread of HIV and AIDS. Since when did the Red Ribbon is introduced and from where the idea? The Red Ribbon, a red ribbon wrapped around, have some sense and meaning. But the most widely known as a symbol of solidarity towards people living with HIV / AIDS. Red Ribbon Project was created by artists Caucus for Visual AIDS New York in 1991. This extraordinary collaboration believe it is important to:
1. Remains are known not as an individual and to respect the Visual AIDS Artist Caucus as a whole in the creation of the Red Ribbon Project, and not to register one individual as the creator of Project Red Ribbon
2. Let copyright remains free of charge, so that no individuals or organizations that take advantage of using red ribbon.
3. The Red Ribbon should be used as a symbol of consciousness, not as a commercial tool and copyrights.

Prevention and Transmission
Until now, hear the words HIV / AIDS as a terrible scourge. In fact, if understood in a logical, HIV / AIDS can be easily avoided. How is it? Prevalence of HIV / AIDS in Indonesia has been moving at a very alarming. In 1987, HIV / AIDS cases are found for the first time only on the island of Bali. While the current (2007), almost all provinces in Indonesia have discovered cases of HIV / AIDS. The problem of HIV / AIDS has long been a common issue that continues to draw the attention of various circles, especially the health sector. But actually still a lot of information and understanding of these health problems are still unknown even further by the community. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV present in a person's body fluids such as blood, genital fluids (semen or vaginal fluids that have been infected) and breast milk that has been infected.
