The World Health Organization reported that 38.4 million people were living with HIV in 2021 and 650 thousand people lost their lives due to HIV and viruses. Kaposi's sarcoma is still one of the most common cancers in HIV-infected people. Individuals living with this disease also have many biological, psychological and social needs. The aim of this article is to determine the needs of a young patient with Kaposi's sarcoma who has just been diagnosed with HIV (+) according to Orem Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory, to perform nursing care and to guide nurses working in the field. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews in the hematology clinic, care was planned, applied and evaluated according to the model. As a result of the theoretical evaluation of the case, the nursing diagnoses of "impaired gas exchange, activity intolerance, excess fluid volume, anxiety, deterioration in body image, lack of knowledge, risk of infection, and deterioration of the oral mucous membrane" were determined. Orem Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory is a useful model for determining the needs of HIV-positive patients and in the implementation of nursing interventions.
