 AB    The aim of this phenomenologically informed study was to explore the
       experience of being hospitalised with an AIDS-defining illness. Eight
       men recently hospitalised with an AIDS-defining illness were asked at
       interview to describe the meaning of AIDS for them and the nursing
       interventions they experienced as helpful and unhelpful while they were
       in hospital. The findings pertaining to participants' experiences of
       nursing interventions are highlighted in this paper. Overall, the
       interventions experienced as helpful were those which the participants
       interpreted as being motivated by care. Conversely, the interventions
       described as unhelpful were those that suggested to the participants a
       lack of care on the part of nurses. The main implications of patients'
       experiences for nursing practice are discussed.
