 AB    AIDS has challenged many concepts and practices within nursing. Because
       of the serious implications attending a positive diagnosis, and because
       patients with AIDS have become articulate and well informed, familiar
       principles have been exposed to renewed scrutiny. Anomalies and dilemmas
       have been revealed. Results from a recent Institute of Medical Ethics
       survey carried out by the author have illustrated some of the
       theoretical concepts. Confidentiality has assumed new dimensions.
       Partnership and mutual empowerment are seen as keys to sound practice
       involving the patient in decision-making. A vital ingredient relates to
       the preparation of professionals; they need to be aware of those
       attitudes and prejudices within themselves which potentially stand in
       the way of caring well.
