Abstract:
This article addresses the challenge of vaccine hesitancy among people with HIV (PWH), emphasizing the need for research on the potential impact of trust and intellectual humility in health care. It underscores the complexity of vaccine acceptance in PWH and the urgency of addressing hesitancy in PWH ahead of a future HIV vaccine. The article identifies trust in health care providers as a critical factor influencing vaccine uptake and proposes that providers who demonstrate intellectual humility-openly recognizing the limits of their knowledge-might enhance patient trust. The role of nurses is spotlighted because of their social positioning in the patient experience. The article advocates for interventions tailored to PWH's unique experiences and attitudes. Such strategies are essential for improving vaccine uptake and, consequently, public health outcomes.
