Red Scarf

Volunteers are the heart of Red Scarf Last year, volunteers made 2,110 Red Scarves for HIV/AIDS awareness! We are so grateful to the hundreds of community members who help us to raise awareness and end stigma, year after year. In honour of Volunteer Appreciation Week, we are proud to recognize each and every one of you for your outstanding contributions to our community and to #RedScarf. Thank you so much!

Almost 65 million North Americans believe their friends, family & co-workers would shun them if they revealed they were HIV+. #smashstigma

February 7th is African, Caribbean and Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. "According to African and Caribbean Council on HIV and AIDS in Ontario, black women make up 53 per cent of all women who test positive for HIV/AIDS in Ontario, despite the fact that they make up less than five per cent of all women in Ontario." (via CBC News)

Thank you to our community for a record number of 2,110 Red Scarves handmade to raise HIV/AIDS awareness and end stigma.

Living a long and healthy life is possible with effective HIV treatment. #NoStigma

Red Scarf 2019 saw over 500 of our community members come together ahead of World AIDS Day, for a night louder than stigma at London Music Hall. We are so grateful to bülow, ASHS and verzache for an incredible show and to our special guest speaker Ashley, featured in CATIE’s Can’t Pass It On campaign, who shared her story and inspired us all. Thanks again to Virgin Radio London Canada and all of our 2019 sponsors. Together we are making a vital difference in raising awareness and ending stigma!
