Method The research was conducted using comparative descriptive design. Research respondents consisted of nursing faculty students of Universitas Indonesia with a total sample of 266 students. Result The results showed that there were no differences in attitudes toward HIV clients (p-value = 0.298). Additionally, there were differences in attitudes toward gay (p-value = 0.001).
