In Vietnam, HIV-positive population, as well as the stigmatization of this disease, is increasing, which affects patients and staff, thus requiring improvement. Nurses have a central role in adopting UNAIDS 90-90-90 vision regarding knowledge and treatment without risk. The aim of this study is to describe nursing students’ experiences with HIV in Hanoi, Vietnam. Interviews with seven nursing students were performed. Data were analyzed using content analysis. The results formed one category, dare to care, and three subcategories: being careful, managing fear, and creating trust. This study highlighted the importance of awareness of values (visualize stigmatization) to develop guidelines (built on evidence-based knowledge) to transform knowledge (theoretical, practical) through nursing skills that are performed to manage fear and create trustful care for HIV-positive patients.
