title: [The health education nurse faced with an African HIV-infected patient].
abstract: The health education nurse faced with an African HIV-infected patient. Disease and death are represented in a completely different manner in Sub-Saharan Africa than in the West. The role of the health education nurse working with African HIV-infected patients requires a socio-ethnological understanding of this cultural context in order to provide a global, personalised and adapted treatment.
