Watch Part two
The Indonesian province of Papua in Southeast Asia is largely close to international media.
However it now faces a HIV/Aids problem so grave it deserves the wider world's attention.
Authorities in the Indonesian capital Jakarta say the infection rate in Papua is 15 times the national average.
But field workers say that figure could be closer to 50 times.
Although the Indonesian government say they have the problem under control, it is thought that there are now many more Hiv positive housewives than sex workers.
101 East looks at the looming health crisis in Papua.
This edition of 101 East aired from Thursday, November 6, 2008.
