An equally important mission of the UAB CFAR is the dedication to our community outreach programs inAIDS education and awareness between the university and the surrounding community. Owing to the stigmaof HIV, especially in the South, and the general uncertainty and fear about HIV in the community at large, acritical effort of the UAB CFAR at its inception was the establishment of effective outreach programs into theBirmingham and Alabama communities.

Since its inception in 1987, the UAB CFAR and its affiliated clinics established and fostered meaningful relationships within the community. The
formation of a specialized HIV Clinic in 1988 was driven by requests from patients and their families for a dedicated facility focused on provision of
HIV-specific care, social services, and access to research. Since its onset, the UAB 1917 Clinic has included community volunteers who serve as
‘clinic hosts’, greeting new patients and orienting them to the clinic and its operation. In 1989, the clinic community formed a Patient Advisory
Board (PAB) that meets monthly and provides suggestions, feedback, and assessments of services and quality directly to the clinic director and
the clinic leadership. The PAB allows consumer-members to function as the 1) voice of the consumer (patient) to clinic administration, 2) face of
the clinic to the community, and 3) planners of educational resources for other consumers.
Shortly thereafter, the CFAR initiated the Community Advisory Board (CAB) as a specialized group to more directly engage and educate the
community about NIH-sponsored trials via the national trials networks. The CAB has continued to provide critical feedback on all of our trials from
the perspective of the research participant. This input has helped create scientific protocols that answer key scientific questions of interest to the
community and that are acceptable to potential volunteers. The CAB and the PAB formed a close-knit relationship sharing ideas during meetings
and implementing them to attain mutual goals.
An outgrowth of the PAB and CAB has been the creation of outreach support groups which rely largely on consumer involvement. Some notable
support groups include:
The CompSAT Support Group was developed initially as part of a Comprehensive Substance Abuse Treatment program and currently provides aweekly support meeting for consumers.
The Patient-Provider Chronic Pain Advisory Board is a short-term (2 year, 2012-13) interdisciplinary group of patients living with chronic
pain/HIV with healthcare team members providing care to those who experience persistent pain/HIV.
Heartsong encompasses both an annual retreat and a weekly spiritual support group which both involve leadership from consumers. Heartsong @1917 Clinic has met weekly since 2009 to provide an open discussion about spirituality. The Heartsong Retreat is a three-day spiritual retreat forpersons living with HIV/AIDS, for professionals who work in the field, and for caregivers to listen to one another’s “heartsong” and to use what islearned for spiritual growth. The retreat has been held for the past 20 years and is available for 50 participants each year.
These groups are coordinated by Ms. Kelly Ross-Davis, who serves as a facilitator, as well as a liaison, among these community groups, the

The UAB 1917 Clinic provides comprehensive and compassionate health care for people with HIV infection. This isaccomplished through specialty clinics for HIV patients with needs in dermatology, dental, oncology, neurology,addition recovery, and palliative care and social service support.
By the time the 1917 Clinic had formed in 1988, a sufficient number of researchers and physicians were already in
place. The Clinic provided a specialized environment in which to treat patients and study HIV. The blood and tissuesamples collected over the years have been used to learn how HIV causes disease, and have contributed to the
development of increasingly more effective treatments.
The clinic also facilitates interactions between laboratory scientists by providing clinical specimens from well-characterized patients; and conducting clinical trials of new approaches to treatment. By participating in a clinical triala patient has the chance to receive an experimental drug or treatment before it is widely available, the opportunity to
receive regular medical attention and other services at little or no cost, and the satisfaction of contributing to scientificknowledge about the disease and improving existing treatments.
