 AB    The purpose of the present study is to gain an understanding of 'the
       content' and 'the process' of care of persons with HIV infection. A
       qualitative approach comparable to the ethnonursing method was adopted.
       Data were collected through interviews, participant observations and
       documentary material from 21 key informants (policy makers, planners,
       administrators), 35 staff members, and 51 persons with HIV infection in
       six selected home care programmes in Africa. A data collection guide
       provided direction for the study, but emphasis was on obtaining local
       viewpoints. Data were analyzed from within a caring paradigm.
       Characteristics of the care provided on home visits to 51 patients were
       identified, categories formulated and a model of care developed.
