Hello, I am using MacOS Mojave on my MBP 15" mid 2015. Before installing MacOS I formatted the drive to HFS+ in disk utility, but after installation the drive is formatted as APFS. I have repeated the installation several times and I always have APFS. Don't know why the drive is after installing Mojave formatted to APFS? Can APFS disk file be changed to HFS+ after OS installation? Thanks.

Mojave install converts the file system to APFS. If you have SSD, you want to use APFS as it is designed for use with SSD. The only way to convert APFS to HFS+ is erase and format.
