Abstract

There is a concerning increase in HIV infections worldwide. In Latin America, Chile is one of the countries that has experienced one of the highest surges. This translates to an increasing number of people needing hospitalization for disease management. Humanized care could be a strategy to improve treatment adherence, reduce stress, and promote empathy and compassion among nursing professionals. However, evidence has shown that discriminatory and stigmatizing treatment for this group continues to occur today
