Abstract

   A survey was done by means of a questionnaire to obtain information on the knowledge and attitudes of 297 nursing students from three training institutions in the Western Cape regarding HIV-infection and AIDS-patients.  
   Results indicated:  
     The average knowledge regarding AIDS scored 72.5%         They generally had a positive attitude regarding the caring for AIDS-patients;         81% of the junior and 54% of the senior students were of opinion that their training were inadequate while         91.5% of the respondents held the opinion that the training hospital must provide more training.       It is recommended that the curricula of training institutions make adequate provision for relevant training regarding AIDS.
