Two AIDS victims dead in N. Sulawesi

MANADO, North Sulawesi: Governor E.E. Mangindaan said on
Monday evening here that two people infected by the deadly AIDS
(Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) virus have died in the
province so far.

"It is an official figure. The number in fact might be higher
as many victims and their relatives decide not to report about
the cases due to several reasons, particularly from
embarrassment," said Mangindaan in a speech read by head of the
North Sulawesi office of the Ministry of Health, Slamet Sunarso
on AIDS Nusantara Reflection Night here.
