About our Clinic name: The clinic was named in memory of Clint Spencer who died in 2001. Clint realized the importance of research in improving the care of Hawaii's HIV positive community; as a result, in 1992, he became the first patient to enroll in a research protocol through the Hawaii AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (HACTU), a federally-funded component of the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG).
