An equally important mission of the UAB CFAR is the dedication to our community outreach programs in HIV education and awareness with the surrounding community and assisting researchers with establishing equitable research partnerships. Owing to the stigma of HIV, especially in the South, effective outreach and community-engaged programs into the Birmingham and Alabama communities are critical.


UAB HIV Clinic / Volunteers / Patient Care
For information for clinic volunteering or to learn more about HIV patient care, testing, and support, contact the UAB 1917 Clinic, located in the Dewberry Building at 3220 5th Avenue South, 2nd Floor in Birmingham's Lakeview District. 

To participate in one of the Community Advisory Boards, contact Kelly Ross Davis 

Community-Engaged Research
Community-based studies require effective academic-community partnerships. The UAB CFAR works with the Jefferson County HIV/AIDS Community Coalition and statewide service organizations to provide leadership and training on building these relationships. Contact the Administrative Core for information on these services.
