After a month's stop because of measures against the spread of Covid-19, the free testing and counseling for HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C at the Center for Sexual Health in the capital city of Sofia have been resumed.
Elena Birindzhieva, chairman of Health without Borders Association, told the BNR that about 6,000 people are tested for these infections annually.
