Rizki now works in a bar in a shantytown in Bekasi, which is home to companies like Converse and Samsung.

A Swiss charity called the Global Fund provides free condoms to people like Rizki.
But most Indonesian men won't use condoms.
And the mad Islamists, financed by Saudi Arabia, are opposed to condoms.
Only 10% of men who visit prostitutes use condoms.
Most Indonesian Moslems are not Islamists and mainstream Muslim groups support the Government's anti-Aids campaign.

But there is a cover-up of the extent of prostitution in Indonesia.
And the average Indonesian with AIDS is unlikely to have their condition diagnosed, unless they can afford to go to a top hospital.
Doctors at an HIV clinic in Bandung say that married women are increasingly testing positive at a rate that is rising more quickly than for prostitutes.
"Housewives are being infected by their partners," says Dr Nirmala Kesumah the head of the clinic.
The Global Fund has more than 100 babies and children registered at the clinic aged 1 to 14.
