 AB    The lack of a medical cure for human immunodeficiency virus infection
       and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome has resulted in growing interest
       in those infected individuals who seem to have longer than expected life
       spans, a more satisfying and sometimes improved quality of life, and in
       some cases no progression of immune deterioration. Factors involving
       genetic predisposition, immune function, and particular psychosocial
       qualities, such as social affiliations, internal resources, and coping
       with affective responses, are being studied. Nursing's evolving role in
       relation to this hopeful development is explored. More research in this
       area is needed, particularly among those hardest hit in the second wave
       of the epidemic: women, children, intravenous drug users, and people of
       color.
