abstract: Nurse educators are faced with a variety of complex issues associated with the comprehensive care of the AIDS patient. They need to prepare their students for the challenge AIDS brings to all areas of nursing practice. The author presents a review of the literature related to perceived attitudes, fears, and professional issues of healthcare professionals in general, and nursing students specifically. An examination of AIDS-related curricula reveals the need for a comprehensive plan to integrate AIDS content into baccalaureate nursing programs.
