• Treatment: Nurses play a crucial role in:

  • Symptom Management: Addressing common symptoms such as fatigue, pain, nausea, and diarrhea through pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.

• Education: Patient education is vital and includes:

  • HIV Transmission: Providing accurate information about HIV transmission to prevent further spread.
  • Prevention Strategies: Educating about safe sex practices, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), and other prevention methods.
  • Self-Care: Promoting healthy lifestyle choices, including nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
  • Medication Management: Providing detailed instructions on how to take medications, manage side effects, and recognize potential drug interactions.

• Psychosocial Support: Nurses offer emotional support, counseling, and referrals to mental health professionals to address psychosocial issues. They also connect patients with support groups and other resources.

• Advocacy: Nurses advocate for policies that support people living with HIV, including access to affordable healthcare, housing, and other essential services.
