We would like to thank all the people who have contributed towards the development
of this manual:
All the nurses who assisted us with our assessment and pilot of this manual, for not
only giving up their time but also their invaluable thoughts and ideas on nurses’
training needs, enabling us to develop a nurse-focused training manual.
Dr Janet Giddy for her motivation and allowing us to use some of her training slides.
Dr Robert Pawinski & Enhancing Care Initiative KZN Plus who invited us to
Durban to join their team of experts in HIV/AIDS. Thanks to ECI KZN Plus we were
able to conduct assessments at their different hospital/clinic sites in KZN and
subsequently develop this manual.
NAM for making this training manual freely available to people involved in ARV
training.
The Peer Review Committee, a team of six nurses from Chelsea & Westminster
Hospital, UK, who each have considerable experience of ARV training in resource
limited settings, and Dr David Ferris, Research Fellow, Columbia University.
