ABSTRACT
HIV-infected children attend day care programs and schools in communities throughout the United States. This article examines the care of these children in the school and child care environment. Legal issues of school access, confidentiality, and school policies are discussed. Specific health, developmental, psychosocial, and educational needs of infected children are presented along with the roles that the nurse can play, as advocate and care provider for the child and family, and as school/community resource and educator.
