title: Nursing education and HIV disease: a call for action.
abstract: The continued increase in reported cases of HIV disease has created a compelling need for nursing educators to provide students with comprehensive information on HIV-related issues. The authors discuss the need for students to care for HIV-positive individuals under faculty supervision to overcome fear and anxiety. Faculty education is proposed as a first step to develop a comprehensive approach to HIV education. A guide for integrating HIV content into the curriculum is provided.
