 AB    The AIDS crisis has paralyzed the minds of many rational individuals.
       This paralysis of the mind unfortunately is the result of fear and
       ignorance. The past 10 years of the AIDS crisis has resulted in massive
       quantities of published reports regarding the biology, pathogenesis,
       transmission, clinical manifestations, and treatment of the AIDS virus.
       Yet there are those who still respond hysterically to the AIDS crisis.
       One group on which the results of much fear and ignorance have fallen is
       the school-aged child who is HIV infected. This article explores the
       issues of risk (to other school children and the HIV-infected child),
       the legal rights of the HIV-infected child to a public education, and
       the role of the pediatric nurse practitioner in the disclosure of the
       HIV-infected child's diagnosis.
