OVERVIEW

In Bulgaria, you will find a range of health care options. Condoms are readily available at supermarkets, pharmacies, petrol stations, and various stores, and they are the most commonly used form of contraception. While you technically need a prescription for birth control pills, this is not strictly enforced at all pharmacies. If you are a foreigner, or if you already have a box of pills that you can show the pharmacist, you can typically obtain birth control pills without a prescription. Other forms of contraception, such as IUDs, are also available in Bulgaria, but there are extremely low usage rates for some other forms of contraception, such as contraceptive implants and contraceptive injectables. Regarding emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills), they are available over-the-counter at pharmacies, even if they may be technically available by prescription only.

Regarding STIS, you can receive an HIV test and other STI tests at a variety of places in Bulgaria, such as VCT (i.e. voluntary counseling and treatment) centers, mobile testing facilities, health education centers, public clinics and hospitals, and private clinics and hospitals. It is possible to get free HIV tests in Bulgaria, though you will generally need to pay for your test if you go to a private hospital or clinic. While HIV infection rates in Bulgaria are generally rather low, the rate of HIV knowledge among young also happens to be low and certainly not everyone who is infected knows their status. Furthermore, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) does not appear to be generally available yet in Bulgaria, and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is only available in some cases.

You can find pads, pantyliners, tampons, and menstrual cups sold in pharmacies in Bulgaria. However, it should be noted that menstrual cups are a specialty product, and they will not appear in all pharmacies. You can refer to the "Menstruation" section for a list of some pharmacies that do carry cups.

Regarding pregnancy, Bulgaria has a relatively low maternal mortality rate and offers a generous maternity leave plan for women. Finally, abortion is legally available upon request during the first twelve weeks of gestation.

Contraception (Birth Control)

General Note: There are many types of contraceptives, also known as "birth control," including IUDs, oral contraceptives, patches, shots, and condoms, etc. If you would like to view a full list, click here.

Laws & Social Stigmas

In Bulgaria, you can purchase condoms without a prescription at markets, pharmacies, kiosks, and online vendors. You technically need a prescription to obtain birth control pills and most forms of contraception.[1] [2] However, according to online sources, some pharmacies sell birth control pills over-the-counter, particularly if you have a box (including an empty box) of the birth control pill brand that you use on hand.[3] [4] According to one pharmacist in Sofia (November 2018): "If a woman asks for some of these pills, she needs to show a prescription, but if she comes from another country, or if she forgot the prescription and brings the package of the pills she's taking, I am sure the pharmacist will give her the pills."

Generally speaking, condoms are the most commonly used form of contraception, and women tend to have smaller families with 1.46 children born per woman (CIA World Factbook, 2017).[5] It was estimated in 2015 that 67% of Bulgarian women (who were married/in unions and of reproductive age) used any form of contraception, including traditional methods, which was slightly lower than the Eastern European average (about 69% of women). Furthermore, about 13.5% of women had unmet family planning needs, which was slightly higher than the Eastern European average (about 10%). The most common forms of contraception was male condoms, which were used by 26.5% of women. Many women chose to use withdrawal, also known as the "pull-out method," as their main form of contraception (about 18% of women). This was followed by IUDs (about 11% of women) and birth control pills (about 7% of women). There were rather low rates of usage for all other forms of contraception, including female sterilization (2.5% of women), the rhythm method (about 1% of women), male sterilization (less than 1% of women), and female barrier methods (less than 1% of women). There were practically no women who were found to be using contraceptive injectables (0.0% of women) and contraceptive implants (0.0% of women).[6]

What to Get & Where to Get It

  • In Bulgaria, you can easily purchase condoms without a prescription at supermarkets, pharmacies, petrol stations, and various stores. They are generally easy to find and you shouldn't encounter significant stigma if you buy them. You'll be able to find international brands, such as Durex, and Bulgarian brands, which tend to be cheaper. For Bulgarian women, condoms are the most common form of contraception.
  • You can find birth control pills at pharmacies. From a legal perspective, a prescription may be required to purchase birth control pills, but some pharmacies may sell pills over-the-counter, according to multiple online sources, especially if you are foreigner or have a box of the pills you commonly use. Some of the brands that you can expect to see are Jasmin (Bayer), Logest (Bayer), Lindinette 30 (Gedeon Richter), Miligest (Gedeon Richter), Belara (Gedeon Richter), and Jazz (Bayer), among other brands.
  • You can find intra-uterine devices (IUDs) in Bulgaria. For example, at Acibadem CityClinic - Tokuda Hospital, you can obtain an IUD insertion for 70 BGN, as of November 2018, after you have a consultation. However, you should note that, at Acibadem and some other clinics, you actually buy the IUD at the pharmacy and then they handle the insertion procedure. To learn more about the insertion procedures, brands available, or prices, you should contact a local gynecologist or clinic.
  • Generally speaking, contraceptive implants and contraceptive shots/injectables appear to be very rare in Bulgaria, as of November 2018. While most clinics and hospitals will probably not provide such services, some of them may. You should directly contact your health care provider to inquire.
  • Pharmacies in Bulgaria sell contraceptive creams and vaginal tablets, but they are rarely used, according to a pharmacist that we spoke to.

Costs

  • Here are the quoted prices for condoms from one Sofia pharmacy (November 2018): Durex - 3 pieces around 2 EUR, Bulgarian brands - 10 cents a piece.
  • Here are the quoted prices for birth control pills from one Sofia pharmacy (November 2018): Jasmin (Bayer) - around 7 EUR, Logest (Bayer) - around 5 EUR, Lindinette 30 (Gedeon Richter) - around 3-4 EUR, Miligest (Gedeon Richter) - 6 EUR, Belara (Gedeon Richter) - 11 EUR, Jazz (Bayer) - 11 EUR
  • Here is the quoted price for IUD insertion (not for the device -- just insertion) at one clinic (as of November 2018): 70 BGN

Emergency Contraception (Morning After Pill)

Important Notes: Emergency contraception may prevent pregnancy for three days (72 hours) and sometimes five days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Take EC as soon as possible after unprotected sex. If you don't have access to dedicated EC, oral contraceptives can be used as replacement EC, but remember the following: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC 2) Different contraceptives require different dosages and time schedules to work as EC 3) You must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs and 4) They may be less effective than dedicated EC. For general information on emergency contraceptives, click here and here.

Laws & Social Stigmas

In Bulgaria, emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) are generally available over-the-counter at pharmacies, though a pharmacist may first ask for a prescription. Furthermore, for some ECP brands, you can directly view and obtain the pills at pharmacies (i.e. they can be found on pharmacy shelves) without requesting the pills from pharmacists. According to one pharmacist in Sofia (November 2018): Emergency contraceptive pills are sold to "...anyone who really needs it. I mean, we are obliged to ask for a prescription, but if the person forgot it, or simply explains that she really needs it, we make exceptions."

There may be restrictions related to age at some pharmacies, but this does not seem to be the case at all pharmacies. According to the European Consortium for Emergency Contraception, people under 16 years old in Bulgaria can purchase UPA morning after pill brands (such as ellaOne) without a prescription. However, minors (under 16 years old) may need a prescription to purchase LNG morning after pills (such as Postinor-Duo or Escapelle) from pharmacies.[7]

What to Get & Where to Get It

  • You can get the emergency contraceptive pill (morning after pill) at pharmacies in Bulgaria. You may be initially asked for a prescription, but you can usually purchase the pills over-the-counter if you do not have one. Some of the brands you can expect to see are Escapelle and ellaOne.
  • You may be able to purchase emergency contraceptive pills online from Bulgarian pharmacies. For example, you can buy ellaOne from this online pharmacy, as of November 2018. However, prices will probably be much higher than if you walked into a pharmacy and purchased the medication yourself.

Costs

  • According to one pharmacy in Sofia, they sell Escapelle for 15 EUR and ellaOne for 18 EUR (prices from November 2018).

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs/STDs)

Important Notes - Learn about PEP and PrEP: If you think that you've been recently exposed to HIV (i.e. within 72 hours), seek out PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a month-long treatment to prevent HIV infection after exposure, and it may be available in your city. Take PEP as soon as possible. For more information, click here. If you are at risk of HIV exposure, seek out PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). It's a daily oral pill that can prevent HIV infection before exposure. To learn more about PrEP, click here.

Laws & Social Stigmas

There are no travel restrictions related to HIV status, as of 2020.[8]

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 ART. However, there are higher HIV infection rates in certain communities[9], 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.[10]

Costs

  • HIV tests can be free or you can pay money, depending on various factors. Generally, if you go to the Regional Health Inspectorates, which can be found in district cities, or to mobile testing sites, which are often set up by NGOs, you can get a free HIV test (but you may need to be a Bulgarian citizen or legal resident to receive free services).[13] However, if you go to a private clinic or hospital, you will need to pay for the test and laboratory results.
  • Regarding treatment costs for hepatitis and other STIs: Health insurance in Bulgaria is supposed to cover the treatment, but this may not always be the case. For this reason, it appears that some people purchase antibiotics to treat STIs over-the-counter at pharmacies in Bulgaria.[14]

Medications & Vaccines

Old pharmacy in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

Laws & Social Stigmas

There are many pharmacies in Bulgaria, though most of them are not open 24 hours. In fact, in April 2018, it was reported that there were only 30 "non-stop" (i.e. 24 hour) pharmacies in Bulgaria.[15] You can find a range of medications available over-the-counter at pharmacies. There are some medications that may technically be available by prescription only, but these laws may not be followed by all pharmacists. It should also be noted that some pharmacies may run out of certain product. This is partially due to a practice known as "parallel trade," where middle-men buy large quantities of medications in Bulgaria and sell the medications in other European countries (thereby depleting the stock of such products in Bulgaria).[16]

What to Get & Where to Get It

  • You can find medications to treat yeast infections in Bulgaria. They should be available over-the-counter at pharmacies.
  • You can find medications to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Bulgaria. They may be available over-the-counter at pharmacies, but we're still gathering more information on this topic.
  • You can find the HPV vaccine in Bulgaria, and the country has had a nationwide HPV immunization program since 2012.[17] According to one clinic: "The HPV vaccine is usually being provided to children up to 18 y.o., but you can discuss its possibility individually during the consultation with one of our specialists."
  • There appears to be no official vendors or distributors of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Bulgaria, as of October 2018.[18]
  • Regarding Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), it was previously reported that PEP was only available for occupational exposure (i.e. not for sexual exposure) in Bulgaria[19], but we don't know if this is still the case.

Pregnancy

Laws & Social Stigmas

Bulgaria is known to have some of the best maternity leave laws in the world. When a woman has a baby, she is entitled to 410 days of maternity leave, and 45 of those days must be taken before the actual birth. Furthermore, people on maternity leave are entitled to 90% of their pay, once they have covered the risk of the period with a 12-month contributory service.[21] However, paternity leave benefits are much less flexible and comprehensive. Fathers are entitled to 15 days of paternity leave after the birth of the baby.[22] If the mother consents, the father can use any unused maternity leave credit once the child has reached six months old.[23][24]

Child birth is comparatively safe for women in Bulgaria. There are 11 deaths per 100,000 live births, making Bulgaria has the 146th lowest maternal mortality rate in the world (out of 184 in the CIA World Factbook).[25]

Abortion

Important Note: There are two main types of abortions: medical (also known as the "abortion pill") and surgical (also known as "in-clinic"). For medical abortions, you take a pill to induce abortion. For surgical abortions, a procedure is performed to induce abortion. For general information about medical and surgical abortions, click here.

Laws & Social Stigmas

In Bulgaria, abortion is fully and legal and available upon request during the first twelve weeks of gestation.[26] During this period, all reasons for abortion are permitted. Between twelve and twenty weeks of gestation, an abortion is permitted for special medical reasons (it is not available upon request), provided that the pregnant person has a documented and proven disease or condition that would endanger her or the life of the child.[27]

In 1956, abortion became available upon request for the first twelve weeks of pregnancy in Bulgaria. However, there have been periods where abortion has been challenged or heavily restricted in the country. In 1968, the government was concerned about the declining birth rate -- and, in response, the government banned abortion services for childless women, except for cases when abortions were medically necessary. The government also discouraged abortions for women who had one or two children, though they typically received abortion services if they persistently requested such services. These restrictions were expanded in 1973, and abortions were banned for women with one child. In 1974, the laws changed again, and abortion was permitted for unmarried women. Yet, it was only in 1990 when abortion was again available upon request for all women, regardless of their marital or parental status, during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. These laws can be found in Decree No. 2 of 1 February 1990.[28]
