Abstract
HIV/AIDS remains one of the most significant global public health challenges. Since the identification of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the early 1980s, significant advancements have been achieved in comprehending, preventing, and managing the infection. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets the cells of the human immune system, they either destroy them or damage their normal functioning. In the initial stages of infection, there are no apparent signs or symptoms. However, when the illness becomes more severe, the patient's immune system weakens, making them more susceptible to opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis (TB) and Kaposi's sarcoma. AIDS is a disease that leads to a person's death by causing multi-system dysfunction. Sexual contact is the most common way that HIV is transmitted from one person to another or from a mother to her unborn child during childbirth. Traditional birth attendants must receive education and training in safe health practices, raising awareness, and preventing and controlling diseases. For this research, our target population consists of 1st-semester B.Sc. Nursing students. It is well known that nursing students frequently come into contact with HIV/AIDS patients while on clinical rotations and that despite this, they remain highly susceptible to the illness because of their ignorance about it. Therefore, there is a necessity for implementing a program that can enhance their understanding and protect them from HIV/AIDS.
