I remember previously the total number of deaths had been reported as being 5995 but it must be noted that earlier there was no reliable HIV/AIDS notification system in place to determine the exact number of deaths.  Unfortunately I can't remeber what year that total figure was reported.

Based on the UNAIDS statistics, an estimated 1,300 people died from HIV in PNG in 2001, compared to less than 1,000 in 2012.

The Government of PNG (GoPNG) estimates that there are 34,000 people living with HIV in the country (31,000 adults and 3,100 children) (NACS/NDOH/UNAIDS, 2011).  http://giaman.com/s/7p
