Local CABs are mandated by the national AIDS Clinical Trials Group to ensure community involvement in each AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ACTU) in order to advance HIV/AIDS research. The CAB for UTMBs ACTU was formed in 1992, the same year the ACTU opened its doors in Galveston. It represents a diverse group of individuals committed to serving the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS on Galveston Island, the Mainland and surrounding areas. CAB membership is open to persons living with HIV/AIDS or affected by HIV/AIDS, including family, friends and caregivers, community-based service providers, ministers and representatives of underserved communities. Persons who are currently enrolled in a clinical trial or have participated in the past are especially encouraged to join the CAB. Click here for a history of CABs.
