Actor Ralph Fiennes says he is moved by the strength shown by India's HIV-infected rural population in the face of social ostracism.
Fiennes spent five days travelling to four villages in the western Indian state of Maharashtra listening to the experiences of HIV-infected young people and children as an ambassador for Unicef.
"What has moved me is not the tragedy or the shadow over these people, but the strength it brings out in them," he said about meeting with people who had been thrown out by their families once they learned they were HIV positive.
