title: Bringing the World together to fight HIV/AIDS.
abstract: There were some significant first for nursing at the 12th World AIDS Conference in Geneva: a special nursing session, the concept of "care" in one of the four tracks and ICN as a partner in organizing the event. The major drive was "bridging the gap" between the have and have not in access to therapies and continuum of care. At a Pre-Conference Nursing Satellite Meeting nurses exchanged ideas and research and were provided another perspective of the HIV/AIDS epidemic--the continually widening gap between the North and South--to which nurses should respond in unison.
