I don’t think HIV/AIDS has the same mind share as breast cancer/cancer in the USA.  I realize is still a big deal in developing countries, but it’s not something I’d purchase an ugly watch band over.

I’m not saying the cause of finding a cure isn’t important, but AIDS is very treatable...

It would be interesting to see who buys this Apple band.  Will it become a symbol of someone’s sexuality by wearing it?  Like wearing a black ring for swingers... time will tell.

You have not been asked to buy the  watch band or to speculate on the  sexuality of someone who does buy it.   Project(RED) raises funds for HIV/AIDS globally—people support it for humanitarian purposes without symbolizing being a person with HIV/AIDS.  Thank you for not saying that finding a cure isn’t important—indeed it is.  This is a global pandemic of a transmittable disease of a human retrovirus that still exists in the body when viral activity is undetectable.     You are UNinformed when you dismissively say that AIDS is very treatable.    The life-long treatments are tremendously expensive in the United States (unlike in developing countries) and access to these pharamceutical products is extremely problematic, fragile and erratic.  The long-term effects of taking these toxic medications are barely acknowledged or studied.   I’m skipping the black ring for swingers: huh?  Yes, time will tell, exactly what the Apple Watch does so very well, no matter how you secure it to your wrist.
