The patient and his partner's privacy must be respected, but if at all possible the nurse should treat the patient as part of a larger social environment, which includes the patient's family and his community. The patient's status and his partner's health status will impact the quality of life they both experience in their relationship, and affect treatment compliance.

Dealing with sensitive issues early on in the intervention builds the necessary trust and getting the patient's loved ones 'on board' in terms of encouraging treatment compliance will improve his quality of life as well as act as positive incentives for compliance.
Finally, sexuality and the importance of sexual functioning are vital in maintaining a high quality of life. Sexual issues in terms of practicing appropriate 'safe sex' are important to address with an HIV-positive patient. Interviewing the patient about his or her sexual practices and afterwards in a sensitive manner is essential. In a patient without a regular partner, the lack of a sexual life or anxieties about sexuality may cause depression and noncompliance, so treating the individual as a sexual being is an important part of showing him dignity and respect.
