25 NEW HIV CASES REGISTERED IN BULGARIA - Press Review news
What struck me about this article is the fact that out of 25 new reported cases of HIV only 4 were women. Why is that number so low? Is it normal for less than 25% of HIV cases to be female? What is the male to female ratio of testing? My guess is a lot more men are getting tested. Why is that? I wonder how the HIV rate in Bulgaria stacks up against other countries, as far as reported infections per year per capita. I wonder how many of these people with HIV were having using condoms, and how many were taught how to use a condom. I wonder if 9% is a bit high for the percentage of HIV cases contracted through blood transfusion.
just some questions i'll probably not answer, but strike me as urgent questions for people living in Bulgaria.

Yeah, I think you are right. There are more guys being tested.
Apparently about half the people living with AIDS/HIV are woment globally while some areas that you would suspect of having higher percentages of women infected are around 60%, like in Africa.

No, it's not right....did it ever occur to you that men are much more permiscuous then women? men are more wreckless sexually, willing to take more chances. More women demand condoms usage because THEY get pregant...the guy is gone.
