Bulgaria has achieved impressive results in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This is what Portfolio Manager of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Sandra Irbe, says. According to her, if Bulgarian authorities wanted to preserve achievements, they should provide funding for the implementation of various programs after the withdrawal of the fund from Bulgaria in the autumn. In the future Bulgaria could receive funds from the Global Fund only if projects are implemented in partnership with other countries, Ms. Irbe added. Until May 5, 2016 in Bulgaria there were 2 337 registered HIV-positive persons. As of April 2016, a total of 854 people receive modern antiretroviral therapy.
