Abstract: The importance of the role of an advanced practice nurse in infectious diseases has been heightened by the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic. The unique abilities that are part of the expanded role enable the advanced practice nurse to utilize tools learned as a nurse and combine them with advanced clinical skills to be a comprehensive care provider. The clinical management of the patient with HIV is complex and requires up-to-date knowledge regarding the constantly changing science of the virus.
