Are all symmetrical real matrices invertible (except $A = 0$)?

Assuming that we have a matrix $A$ that is symmetric. Non negative values. Can this matrix $A$ be non invertible (except for the case $A = 0$) or are all symmetrical matrices invertible, always?

Because if $A$ where non invertible, then $A^TA$ will become invertible. According to my professor.
