The current moral panic about HIV/AIDS and the theories of deviance that go with it are not a new phenomenon. People expect nurses to know all about HIV/AIDS, but many experience the same fears and ignorance as the public. Empathy is crucial in the nurse/patient relationship and unfavourable attitudes lead to less than optimal care. There is a need to cultivate non-judgmental attitudes towards the care of people infected with HIV. This requires systematic and sensitive educational programmes. As most patients are nursed at home, it is the responsibility of the Government and educational bodies to strengthen the knowledge base of community nurses. The WHO's global programme on AIDS emphasizes the scope of education and promotes worldwide exchange of information and non-discriminatory policies.
当前围绕艾滋病毒/艾滋病的道德恐慌以及与之相关的越轨行为理论并非新现象。人们期望护士了解有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病的一切，但许多护士与公众有着相同的恐惧和无知。同理心在护患关系中至关重要，而不利的态度会导致护理达不到最佳效果。有必要培养对艾滋病毒感染者护理的无偏见态度。这需要系统且贴心的教育项目。由于大多数患者在家中接受护理，政府和教育机构有责任加强社区护士的知识基础。世界卫生组织的全球艾滋病项目强调教育的范围，并促进全球信息交流和非歧视政策。
