 AB    The intention of 322 staff nurses to provide care to male patients who
       acquired AIDS either through sexual activity with males, sexual activity
       with females, sharing needles, or a blood transfusion was examined. For
       each mode of acquiring AIDS, respondents indicated their intent to
       perform 11 care-giving behaviors, whether they were comfortable
       performing the behaviors, and if they felt in danger by performing the
       behaviors. No statistically significant differences related to mode of
       acquiring AIDS were found in nurses' intention to provide care. Comfort
       was the only significant predictor of intent to provide care.
