Since 1985, China logged 49,845 AIDS deaths through Oct. 31, 2009, and 68,315 AIDS deaths through Oct. 31 of this year. The growth in HIV infections slowed by 1.4 percent in the first 10 months of 2010 compared with the same period last year. Even so, new infections continue rising, the ministry said.
