- Fact Sheets on HIV/AIDS for nurses and midwives
- There are thirteen Fact Sheets, covering major topics of importance on the care of people living with HIV/AIDS. The Fact Sheets are written so that they can be used individually or together. The target audience for the Fact Sheets is nurses and midwives, which means that, though they are written in a style which is easy to understand, they do contain detailed information about nursing care and some medical matters. They might therefore need some additional explanatory material if they are to be used with other health workers.
