Mashuri.<\/span><\/p>\n This guest lecture aims to broaden the insights of ULM Nursing Study Program students about HIV\/AIDS prevention, including their role as nurses in the future. In the prevention and treatment of HIV\/AIDS, nurses have an important role, especially in providing education, supporting patients psychologically, and prioritizing non-discriminatory care.<\/span><\/p>\n During the lecture session, students actively asked about concrete steps they could take to support the handling of HIV\/AIDS from a nursing perspective.
