United Nations (CNN) -- Suksma Ratri separated from her husband after suffering ongoing domestic violence. But four years ago, the young mother from Indonesia found out her ex-husband had become extremely ill, and possibly had AIDS. Ratri immediately went to her doctor to be tested. The results were what she says she largely expected at that point -- she was HIV-positive. Ratri told her story to a gathering of journalists at the United Nations Tuesday, in a press conference to announce the launch of a new campaign by UNAIDS, the U.N.'s joint program on HIV/AIDS. The organization is launching a five-year program to help fight the growing number of issues surrounding women becoming infected with HIV/AIDS.
