What color ribbon is the international symbol of AIDS awareness?

The international symbol of AIDS awareness is the red ribbon. The red ribbon was created in 1991 by the Visual AIDS Artists Caucus, a group of artists living with HIV/AIDS who wanted to create a symbol of support for people affected by the disease. The red ribbon has since become one of the most widely recognized symbols in the world, and is used to show solidarity with people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as to raise awareness of the disease.
