AB OBJECTIVE: Institutions providing Nursing and Midwifery Education need
to develop strategies meeting the issues of HIV infected students. A
supportive and confidential approach needs to be combined with a need to
protect the client from the theoretical risk of HIV infection. The
ability of HIV infected students to complete their programme of training
required examination. METHOD: A working group including Nursing,
Midwifery, personnel, and occupational health representatives examined
all allied issues to HIV infected health care workers including
Educational and training implications. RESULTS: HIV/AIDS issues need to
be included in literature sent to Prospective students. Education of
staff and students is necessary to ensure awareness of issues. Roles and
responsibilities of staff needed clarifying regarding infected health
care worker guidelines. CONCLUSION: Educational programmes for students
and staff are run. The literature sent to prospective students was
reviewed. Areas of management responsibility were identified and
publicised. The need for confidentiality and support and to reject
compulsory screening is seen as of paramount importance. A close
relationship with clinical areas and occupational health is essential to
provide a supportive but effective strategy.
