 AB    In this descriptive study, healthcare needs reported by 386 HIV-infected
       persons from all risk categories and their primary nurses from four care
       settings (hospital, outpatient, long-term care, and home) are
       identified. Healthcare needs were classified into four domains of
       nursing practice using a conceptual framework from community health
       nursing--physiologic, psychosocial, health behaviors, environmental--and
       were assessed using the Healthcare Needs Scale for Patients with
       HIV/AIDS. Nurses' perceptions of major healthcare needs across all
       settings centered around decreased physical endurance, limited physical
       mobility, and sensory deficits. Patients' needs focused on financial
       issues. The results reflect the multidimensional nature of this
       infection and provide direction for clinical practice.
