Summary:The goal of the work is to study epidemiological situation of TB/HIV coinfection in Georgia. The research was based on the study of TB prevalence among 766 HIV/AIDS patients registered at the National Centre of Infections Diseases, AIDS and Clinical Immunology in 1989-2004; determining of HIV status among 3084 patients with active TB, treated in the hospital of the National Centre of TB and Lung Diseases, Abastumani TB-hospital and Ksani prison Analysis of the obtained data showed that dynamic of TB/HIV coinfection in the period of 2000-2004 varied from 2,1% to 3,8%. Results show low indicators of HIV associated TB prevalence in Georgia. Taking into account slow but stable increase of HIV/AIDS new cases and complicated, but manageable epidemiological situation in regard to TB, increasing of the cases of HIV associated TB can be expected.
