He chanted, "No condom, no sex. No condom, no sex. No condom, no sex." Gere also presented awards to sex workers in recognition of their work on various HIV/AIDS intervention programs.
He said, "You’re unique. This is amazing, an unbelievable experience. This is unfathomable. This will not happen in the US or Europe, or even in Asia." According to United Nations figures, 5.7 million Indians are living with HIV/AIDS, the largest caseload in the world.
