¶ … nurses to research global health issues?
According to Nancy Dickenson-Hazard, chief executive officer of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, confronting the presence in the world of disease, violence, "environmental conditions" and "socioeconomic disparities" very often falls into the hands of "the largest corps of healthcare provides globally, nurses…" (Dickenson-Hazard, 2004), p. 6).

The medications prescribed for HIV / AIDS patients are called "Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI)" (UCSF Medical Center). The number one prevention method is having "safe sex."
