The nurse should be providing support to the client on the weaker side with the use of a gait belt.
The nurse should be on the client's weaker side to assist him with walking and should be using a gait belt to provide support. Holding the client around the waist is not recommended.
Standing on the right side in assisting with walking is appropriate, but the nurse should be using a gait belt to ensure the client's centre of gravity is midline. This will help prevent the client from losing his balance and falling.

Highly active retroviral therapy increases the survival time of a person with HIV or AIDS. HIV antibodies will not show up in blood work for 6 weeks to 3 months. The infection stage of HIV lasts for about a month after the virus is contracted; during that time, the patient may experience flulike symptoms. A support group may be beneficial for a patient who contracts HIV; however, it is unknown whether the patient has contracted HIV, and antiretroviral therapy has helped people live beyond the 10 years expected if HIV goes untreated.
