Like other countries worldwide, HIV/AIDS is present in Ghana.
In 2014, the estimated people that had HIV were 290,000 people out of Ghana's entire population of 27,499,924.
In 2014, 2.0% of Ghanaian adults ages 15–49 were HIV positive and less than 1% of people ages 15–24 were HIV positive.
HIV is higher in urban areas than in rural areas with prevalences rates of 2.4% and 1.7% respectively.
Although  70% of women and 82% of men have knowledge and use of HIV awareness and prevention methods,  HIV/AIDS remains a large common health problem as many individuals do not consistently use a condom, have multiple partners, and fail to get HIV/AIDS testing.

In response to the HIV epidemic in the country, the Government of Ghana established the Ghana AIDS Commission, which coordinates efforts amongst international organizations and other parties to support education about eradication of HIV/AIDS throughout Ghana by the year 2022.
The CDC, alongside Ghana's Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Services, is also active in combating HIV/AIDS through improving Ghana's HIV/AIDS data collection and analysis methods in an effort to effectively allocate resources specific to each community's need.
