Forty-two percent of the newly registered people with HIV fall into the age group 30-39 years, while the share of those up to 29-years old has decreased to 35% from over 50% three years ago.
Nearly half of the new registrations of HIV-positive people were made in Sofia, followed by the cities of Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas.
According to Health Ministry data, a total of 251,479 people have been tested for HIV in Bulgaria in the first nine months of 2014, including 68,450 people who were granted free anonymous testing at the special centres for discovering HIV and prevention of AIDS set up by the ministry across the country.
