Nurses are clearly at risk for exposure to HIV through blood and body fluids, and they frequently use needles and sharp objects. In addition, critical care patients are at high risk for nosocomial infections due to other etiologic agents. This article addresses reducing the risk of infection for both nurses and patients using a variety of strategies.

Psychosocial problems of persons with HIV disease require knowledge and skill in psychosocial assessment, suicide risk assessment, crisis intervention and various other therapeutic modalities, provision of social and community resources, and spiritual care. Neuropsychiatric problems require knowledge and skill in neurologic, cognitive, and behavioral assessment and supportive care. Families and partners have needs commensurate with those of the person with HIV disease.

The HIV epidemic and ethical issues will continue to be a major topic of discussion over the next decade. It is now evolving into a new phase and we are experiencing a change or shift in the populations that are affected. This article focuses on the issues of early intervention, access to care, and the continuum of care including a discussion of case management, the changing populations, drug trials, and issues surrounding confidentiality.

The need to focus on the nursing care of the acute and chronically ill HIV-infected person is made apparent by an examination of recent data on the prevalence of this disease. A nursing system framework of quality of care is proposed, which includes patient problems (inputs), nursing care activities (processes), and patient outcomes (outcomes). Examples from ongoing research are provided.

In the United States, the majority of women with HIV/AIDS are women whose lives have been touched by injection drug use--their own or that of their sexual partners. The pattern of opportunistic infections in women is more similar to that of injection drug users than that of homosexual men. Specific complications associated with a woman's reproductive tract include persistent Candida vaginitis, human papillomavirus infections, cervical dysplasias, and, possibly, pelvic inflammatory disease. Childbearing decisions for women with HIV infection are complex and culturally mediated. Meeting the challenge of providing high quality services to women with HIV infection requires major changes in the service delivery system.

The number of children infected with HIV is growing, and new treatments are extending their survival. Nurses, including pediatric intensive care nurses, more frequently have to care for HIV-infected children. This article discusses the transmission of HIV in children, pediatric manifestations of the disease, staging, treatment, and prophylaxis. The complications, treatment, and psychosocial and ethical issues of the child with HIV in the pediatric intensive care unit are examined.

Caring for the adolescent with HIV infection or AIDS in the critical care setting is challenging. This article discusses medical treatments for HIV, aspects of adolescent development that influence their behaviors, certain behaviors that put adolescents at risk for HIV acquisition, ethical and legal concerns for caring for this population, nursing implications for care, and the needs of nurses caring for this population.

The spectrum of clinical manifestations associated to HIV infection is very broad. In addition to processes that may be attributed to the virus itself, multiple opportunistic infections can develop while the immunodeficiency develops. Any organ or system of the organism may be affected by these processes. The main clinical syndromes in AIDS and the differential diagnosis of their potential etiologies are reviewed.

This document, launched by the Government in July, 1992, represents the first national policy aimed at improving the overall health of the British population. It emphasises the purpose of the National Health Service--to improve health, not just treat sickness. This White Paper represents a beginning, with five target areas as priorities: Coronary heart disease and stroke; Cancers; Accidents; Mental illness; HIV/AIDS and sexual health

Ten patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections underwent cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. All were in Centers for Disease Control (CDC) group II. The cardiac involvement was either urgent or severely symptomatic in all cases. One patient died due to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) unrelated cause. No complications were encountered in this series. Eight of the nine survivors were available for follow-up. Three of these eight patients progressed to AIDS (CDC group IV) and subsequently died. Five patients are alive and in CDC group II. Prognosis of the HIV infection and the natural history of the cardiac disease are the two main elements to be considered whenever cardiac surgery is required.
