 AB    This article is intended as an introduction to some of the issues which
       arise from the increasing incidence in the UK of human immunodeficiency
       virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is not
       possible fully to address, nor offer answers to, all of these issues.
       HIV and AIDS present many challenges to nurses. It tests not only our
       skills and methods of practice, but confronts our feelings about people
       whose lifestyles and behaviours may be different from our own (Lert &
       Marne 1992; McGrath et al 1993); it has also prompted us to alter our
       awareness and knowledge of medical, nursing and infection control
       issues. Hopefully this article will serve to stimulate reflection,
       thought and discussion as well as generating further, more specific
       papers of relevance to the Accident and Emergency nurse.
