===What to Get & Where to Get It===
In Bulgaria, there are an estimated 2800 adults living with HIV, which accounts for less than 0.1% of the population, as of 2017. Furthermore, the infection rate has decreased by 14% since 2000. It is estimated that about 87% of people living with HIV in Bulgaria know their status, and 43% of adults and children who have HIV are receiving 43%. However, there are higher HIV infection rates in certain communities, such as men who have sex with men (3.9%), prisoners (1.7%), and injection drug users (1.7%). It is estimated that around 0.3% of sex workers are living with HIV. One factor to consider is that HIV knowledge in Bulgaria tends to be low, with a little under 19% of young people (ages 15-24) holding  knowledge of HIV prevention.<ref>[http://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/bulgaria UNAIDS - Bulgaria Factsheet, 2017]</ref>
