Georgia: Incidence of HIV, all (per 1,000 uninfected population)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Georgia's incidence of HIV, all (per 1,000 uninfected population) fell 0.01 on 2023 (from 0.16 to 0.15).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.005 and a typical year strayed about 0.02 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.09 in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.01 in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 21% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
