Abstract
There is a phobia about nursing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients. This work was carried out to study the impact of health education on the knowledge and attitude of nurses, representing a stratum of health care team, about modes of transmission and prevention of occupational HIV infection. The studied population were students of the High Institute of Nursing, they were subjected to a health education program (HE), and assessment was carried out before and after this intervention. The results revealed that health education is a successful tool in improving the knowledge of the nurses and in minimizing their phobia from occupational HIV infection.
