Building community partnerships to improve HIV prevention efforts: implications for nurses.
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is a major and complex public health crisis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued effective community-based HIV prevention planning in its 1993 "Supplemental Guidance on HIV Prevention Community Planning" through the formation of community planning groups (CPGs). These guidelines are reviewed along with behavioral and social science theories that are the crux of HIV prevention theory-based research and program development. Nurses' roles in community-based HIV prevention as community advocates, HIV prevention program planners, practitioners, and researchers are discussed. The article concludes with nursing implications for HIV prevention.
