In order to receive ART, you must have a residence permit or a document confirming your refugee status. Next, one of the four specialized clinics must be contacted. In Georgia, all HIV services are provided by AIDS Centers, which are located in the following cities: Kutaisi for Imereti region; Zugdidi for Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region; Batumi for Adjara region; and Tbilisi for Kvemo Kartli region.
In some cases, even with tourist status, it is possible to get ART for one month free of charge. To do this you need to go to one of the
AIDS centers and get tested for CD4 and viral load for a fee. This option was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic and is available as of January 2023.
