 AB    A model of caring for persons with HIV infection is presented. The
       model, which identifies the characteristics of care as a holistic
       phenomenon, consisting of care actions and caring behaviours, was
       developed through a qualitative approach comparable to the ethnonursing
       method. The characteristics of care inherent in the model are validated
       through comparison with knowledge of care from selected historical,
       linguistic, and caring science sources as well as with care experiences,
       described in biographies of persons with HIV infection. It is proposed,
       that the model should be used for further investigation of caring for
       persons with HIV infection, for investigating caring for persons with
       other conditions, for teaching caring theory and practice, for planning
       of caring services and for policy formulation.
