Six HIV/AIDS-related deaths were reported during the period, the ministry said, adding the death toll from the virus has reached 1,270. Both the numbers of AIDS patients and people infected with HIV are similar to those of the same three-month period last year. Five teenagers were infected with HIV, the ministry said.
