Speakers

Cynthia Brinson
Cynthia Brinson MD

Dr. Brinson has spent her entire professional career addressing the HIV epidemic through clinical research and evidence-based clinical care including prevention, screening, and treatment. In the late 1980s she was asked to join the American Foundation for AIDS Research and she continues today participating in research, providing care, advocating for patients, and sharing her knowledge and passion with the next generation of health care providers. Dr. Brinson was instrumental in forming the HIV Study Group at Blackstock Family Health Center in 1992 as a resident. The group, now known as Central Texas Clinical Research, continues to be a productive community-based clinical research organization. Many medications that are now the standard of care for the treatment of HIV, Hepatitis B and C were studied by the group prior to approval for use. She is a prolific researcher with participation in over 150 HIV clinical trials and over 50 studies involving other health issues. She has presented her research findings locally, nationally, and internationally including at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, International AIDS Conference, ID Week, and TexMed.
