The Minnesota ACTU is closing after 20 years of research, having enrolled more than 2,000 volunteers in cutting-edge studies to advance the treatment of HIV/AIDS and its complications. We were not awarded a grant for the next cycle. We cannot screen or enroll new volunteers. Those patients currently on studies will be allowed to complete them. Funds to finish the present protocols will be negotiated with the DAIDS in December. A heartfelt thanks to all of the loyal volunteers and our dedicated medical staff who ceaselessly gave their time, talent, and compassion to stem the tide of this relentless infectious disease.
