What is it about?
This publication sheds light on an important aspect of healthcare, specifically the stigma associated with HIV among nurses. It's crucial to acknowledge that stigma not only affects individuals living with HIV but also the healthcare professionals who care for them. As a healthcare provider, I believe addressing and reducing stigma is paramount for providing effective and compassionate care. This work serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in HIV care and the need for continuous efforts to educate, raise awareness, and promote empathy within the healthcare community.

Why is it important?
Our work delves into the enduring issue of stigma surrounding people living with HIV, focusing on the perspective of nurses. While numerous studies have explored various aspects of HIV prevention and treatment, the issue of stigma remains pervasive and affects both patients and healthcare providers.
Perspectives
As someone who values both the importance of healthcare and the need for compassion in our society, I find this publication particularly significant. It sheds light on a crucial issue that often remains in the shadows of the healthcare system—the stigma faced by people living with HIV and the healthcare professionals, especially nurses, who care for them.
