Although Georgia currently belongs to HIV/AIDS low prevalence countries, by experts’ consideration, unless urgent measures are undertaken immediately, the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS is expected in Georgia in close future.
The registered number of HIV/AIDS cases does not reflect the actual spread of the infection in Georgia. The estimated number of people living with HIV/AIDS is around 10 500.
Several years ago foreign experts were warning, that according to country factors Georgia was threatened by serious epidemic, that would be connected with epid-situation in Russia and Ukraine, where during the year the number of HIV new cases had been increased twice and more.
The experts suggestion was not only based on epidsituation of neighbor countries, suggestion was also related to many factors within country.
By August 10, 2026 have been registered in the Infectious Diseases, AIDS & Clinical Immunology Research Center:
The majority of patients are within the age group of 29-40.
AIDS cases are registered globally, with an estimated 33.4 million people living with HIV in 2008, showing significant growth compared to previous decades. Most patients are aged 25–40, and women now account for about half of all cases.
Sub-Saharan Africa remains the most impacted region, representing the vast majority of infections, new cases, and AIDS-related deaths globally in 2008.
While new infections and mortality rates have shown signs of decline from their historical peaks (in 1996 and 2004 respectively), the expansion of antiretroviral therapy has helped stabilize the population of people living with the virus.
