| Abstract: | To learn and teach about HIV/AIDS is to enter complex and senstitive territory that at times may be personally challenging. 5 In the vast literature on HIV infection and nursing two main themes recur: nurses' lack of understanding, negative attitudes and anxieties related to HIV/AIDS and the need for education to change such attitudes and enhance nurses' knowledge and skills. |
