 AB    1. Because health care providers are the key professionals in advising
       patients about prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, the degree to which
       spread can be prevented is at least partially a function of preventive
       and education measures taken by health care professionals. 2. Nurses
       surveyed believe that they do not have the right to refuse treatment to
       patients infected with HIV. 3. Twenty percent of health care
       professionals indicated they did not have adequate information
       concerning HIV, with the largest group being nurse executives in
       long-term care facilities. 4. The survey indicated that more efficient
       and effective educational methods should be used to increase health care
       practitioners' knowledge about AIDS.
