Monitoring the HIV/AIDS epidemic and understanding


the burden of HIV infection in Georgia are essential for
meeting the goals stated in the 2022-2025 National
HIV/AIDS Strategy to: 1) prevent new HIV infections; 2)
improve HIV-related health outcomes for persons with
HIV; 3) reduce HIV-related health disparities and
inequities, and 4) achieve a more coordinated national

stakeholders.2
