There were some significant firsts for nursing at the 12th World AIDS Conference in Geneva: a special nursing session, the concept of “care” in one of the four tracks and ICN as a partner in organizing the event. The major drive was “bridging the gap” between the have and have nots in access to therapies and continuum of care. Ata Pre‐Conference Nursing Satellite Meeting nurses exchanged ideas and research and were provided another perspective of the HIV/AIDS epidemic–the continually widening gap between the North and South–to which nurses should respond in unison.
