The person appealed to the
administrative chamber of the
city appellate court but no
avail. He claimed in his
application that for many years
have been suffered with
incurable disease and everyday
taken specific drugs under the
supervision of a doctor and
didn’t use marijuana. The
appellant wrote in his
application that drug Efavirenz
sometimes have a false positive
for marijuana as a result of
testing for illicit drug use. He
also attached a letter from the
HIV/AIDS centre to his
application. The letter signed
by a doctor used as evidence
confirmed the applicant’s
arguments.
The judge from administrative chamber
of city appellate court,
delivering the decision without
an oral hearing noted that the
drug Efavirenz might have false
positive for marijuana as a
result of testing for illicit
drug use but on the one hand the
test is positive and on the
other hand during the first
instance court hearing the
appellant confirmed that he
perpetrated administrative
misdemeanor according to the
article 45 of the law and this
confirmation is included in the
court’s protocol. The court’s
decision is final.
The person who was supported with a
lawyer’s service states that
while he was taken for the test
he didn’t know about the false
results but later
recalled
he
heard about such case. Finally
for more information he went to
the AIDS centre.

medications used in

Georgia. Some antiretroviral
treatment provided since 1996.
Since December 2004, Georgia has
ensured universal access to
