The AVRC Community Advisory Board (AVRC CAB) is a volunteer community advisory group that provides community members the opportunity to learn about ongoing HIV research and provide valuable feedback on proposed clinical research studies.
AVRC CAB Meetings:
During our CAB meetings, a researcher usually discusses current projects or pending research studies. At the end of the discussion following questions and answers, CAB members discuss business matters including educational or fundraising events in the community.
Our CAB meetings are usually held the first Monday of every month, 5:30–7:00 p.m.
Meetings are held in person at the AVRC and virtually via Zoom.
There are often exceptions, so it is generally a good idea to call us first at (619) 543-8080.
