Purpose:
The existence of HIV-positive men who have sex with men (HIV-positive MSM) in Indonesia is controversial because it goes against current norms.

This study aimed to explore the needs of nurses to improve nursing care for HIV-positive MSM.
Materials And Methods:
The qualitative study with a purposive sample of 15 nurses participated in semi-structured and in-depth interviews. The data is analyzed by thematic analysis.
Results:
Three key themes emerged:(1) effective therapeutic communication techniques for HIV-positive MSM, (2) increasing the skills and knowledge of nurses; (3) continuity of care.
Conclusion:
The need to improve the knowledge and skills of nurses in caring for HIV-positive MSM will impact the quality of nursing care and lead to better patient's center care. Furthermore, it will increase satisfaction with the nursing care provided.
