With an increased perception of AIDS as a nursing disease and with the holistic approach that they provide, nurses can make important contributions toward the treatment and prevention of AIDS. Nurses are urged to become more active in professional societies, be patient advocates, counsel patients, and educate others about AIDS transmission. The risk to nurses of accidental exposure to AIDS is 1/20th that of hepatitis B. Precautions for both include (nonexcessive) wearing of gloves, gowns, and protective eyewear; proper disposal of needles, syringes, scalpels, and linens; and appropriate use of masks and face shields.
随着人们越来越多地将艾滋病视为一种护理疾病，以及护士所采用的整体护理方法，护士可以为艾滋病的治疗和预防做出重要贡献。敦促护士在专业协会中更加积极，成为患者的倡导者，为患者提供咨询，并向其他人宣传艾滋病传播知识。护士意外接触艾滋病的风险是感染乙型肝炎风险的二十分之一。针对这两种疾病的预防措施包括（不过度）佩戴手套、防护服和防护眼镜；正确处理针头、注射器、手术刀和床单；以及适当使用口罩和面罩。
