 AB    The literature concerning measurement of nurses' attitudes toward AIDS
       was reviewed. A short scale to measure nurses' attitudes toward AIDS was
       developed and evaluated. The instrument has three subscales on (a)
       willingness to care for those who are HIV positive, homosexuals, and
       intravenous drug users as patients, (b) attitudes toward homosexuals and
       intravenous drug users, and (c) general conservative views on religious,
       political, and family issues. The three subscales were supported by
       results of a factor analysis. Coefficient alpha ranged from .69 to .92.
