 AB    The impact of the global epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
       infection in developed countries has been far reaching, but its impact
       in developing countries is much more devastating. The common underlying
       theme that helps explain HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
       (AIDS) is inequality. The resources available to nurses in all these
       countries vary markedly. Although there are many instances of nurses
       responding in an altruistic manner, the evidence indicates that many
       nurses are reluctant to provide care for individuals with HIV infection.
       HIV and AIDS have enabled an examination of broader, fundamental
       questions about the nature of nursing in health care and in society.
