An Educational Video Series

HANC invited community representatives from the four NIH-funded HIV/AIDS clinical trials networks to submit their questions about research study specimens. In response, HANC produced a video filmed at the UCSF-Hair Analytical Laboratory.

The first video is a full length video, where laboratory staff directly address the questions and concerns raised by community members.
