With nearly 33 million global citizens living with HIV or AIDS, the need for a highly qualified, competent nursing workforce is critical. With the recent increase in global funding to expand access to antiretroviral therapy, there have been considerable efforts to improve the capacity of nurses to initiate and maintain antiretroviral therapy while evaluating its effectiveness, monitoring for side effects, reducing the incidence of drug-drug interactions (including drug interactions related to therapies provided by traditional healers), promoting adherence to therapies, and providing management of symptoms. Therefore, using a participatory action approach, nursing leaders from six sub-Saharan African countries collaborated to develop the essential nursing competencies related to HIV and AIDS. These competencies can help to guide preservice education related to HIV and AIDS, to strengthen in-service or capacity-building programs designed for already qualified nurses, and to guide policy and regulatory reform in the context of task-shifting, task-sharing, and scope of nursing practices.
全球有近 3300 万艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者，因此，对高度合格、有能力的护理人员的需求至关重要。随着最近用于扩大获得抗逆转录病毒治疗机会的全球资金增加，已经做出了相当大的努力来提高护士的能力，使其能够启动和维持抗逆转录病毒治疗，同时评估其疗效、监测副作用、减少药物相互作用的发生率（包括与传统治疗师提供的疗法相关的药物相互作用）、促进治疗的依从性，并提供症状管理。因此，六个撒哈拉以南非洲国家的护理领导人采用参与式行动方法进行合作，制定了与艾滋病毒和艾滋病相关的基本护理能力。这些能力有助于指导与艾滋病毒和艾滋病相关的职前教育，加强已经为合格护士设计的在职或能力建设方案，并在任务转移、任务分担和护理实践范围的背景下指导政策和监管改革。
