dc.description.abstractThe number of people living with HIV infection (PLWH) in Australia is growing due to a gradually rising annual incidence of new HIV diagnoses (The Kirby Institute, 2012) along with an increasing life expectancy as a result of improved therapies and access to evidence-informed models of care (Savage, Crooks, & McLean, 2009). HIV is no longer an acute infectious disease requiring only prevention and management but an emerging chronic lifelong health issue that is continually evolving and increasing in management complexity. This evolution and complexity is apparent in many different spheres. For example, male-to-male transmission remains the predominant mode of HIV transmission in Australia; however, rates of newly acquired HIV diagnoses attributed to heterosexual transmission have gradually increased and now account for 10% of newly acquired HIV each year (The Kirby Institute, 2012). Despite the changes to affected population profiles over the last decade, there continues to be lower awareness of women’s risks and needs among health care workers in Australia (Commonwealth of Australia, 2010). Another aspect of change is that the majority of new diagnoses attributed to heterosexual transmissions are occurring in people from or with partners from high prevalence countries (The Kirby Institute, 2011). HIV nurses in Australia have, therefore, been required to develop greater understanding of global HIV epidemiology, along with cultural awareness and competence to meet the needs of the diverse and continually changing community of PLWH. These and other pressures have placed significant demands on educators to ensure that nurses across a broad spectrum of settings have the awareness, knowledge, and skills to provide best practice, gender, sexuality, and culturally appropriate, client-centered care to PLWH.
