HOW IT WORKS
CHRIS, DECIDES TO GO OUT ON A DATE WITH KAREN, WHILE AT THE DINNER
TABLE, HE DECIDES TO TELL KAREN ABOUT THIS NEW CONCEPT ABOUT HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM HIV AND AIDS. BECAUSE HE IS THINKING ABOUT DATING HER.
KAREN, RESPONDS BY SAYING. WELL HOW DO YOU DO THAT? i HAVE ALREADY HAD A HIV TEST.
CHRIS, SAYS LET ME SHOW YOU. SO CHRIS GOES IN HIS POCKET AND PULLS OUT
THIS HIV FREE MEMBERSHIP CARD, BUT KAREN WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE PROGRAM EVEN EXISTED.
KAREN, SAYS WELL I HAVE BEEN TESTED FOR HIV AND AIDS ABOUT A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO. AND I AM AWARE OF ALL THE NEW HIV CASES. BUT I AM VERY
SURPRISED TO HEAR A MAN SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT PROTECTING HIMSELF FROM HIV. SO CHRIS TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
CHRIS, SAYS KAREN THE PROGRAM WORKS LIKE THIS.
1. YOU GO ON-LINE TO www.checkmeoutathivfree.com AND CLICK THE JOIN BUTTON TO JOIN HIV FREE, ONCE YOU SIGN UP AND PAY FOR THE MEMBERSHIP, THE COMPANY WILL GENERATE YOU A MEMBERSHIP ID NUMBER.
2. YOU WILL THEN GO AND TAKE A HIV TEST AT YOU DESIRED MEDICAL
FACILITY, DOCTORS OFFICE OR HEALTH DEPARTMENT OR TESTING SITE WITH LEGAL DOCUMENTS.
3. YOU WILL PRINT THE MEDICAL RELEASE FORM FROM THE HIV FREE WEBSITE
AND SEND IT BACK SIGNED ALONG WITH A COPY OF YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE OR
PHOTO ID OR A UTILITY BILL FOR ADDRESS VERIFICATION. AND A COPY OF YOUR TEST RESULTS THAT YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN.
4. HIV FREE WILL THEN SEND YOU YOUR MEMBERSHIP CARD STATING THAT YOU
HAVE BEEN TESTED FOR HIV. AND FOUND TO BE NEGATIVE AT THE TIME OF MEMBERSHIP.
5. HIV FREE WILL THEN POST YOUR HIV STATUS ON THEIR WEBSITE AND ONLY YOUR HIV TEST INFORMATION, NO OTHER HEALTH INFORMATION WILL BE DISPLAYED. NOR WILL THEY POST ANY OTHER PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS OF YOU, SUCH AS YOUR ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR EMAILS.
6. HIV FREE WILL POST YOUR NAME, DATE OF BIRTH AND YOUR HIV STATUS.
CHRIS SAYS, NOW KAREN IN THE FUTURE IF YOU DECIDE TO DATE ANYONE, YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE A HIV FREE MEMBER BY CHECKING THEM OUT ON THE WEBSITE WITHIN MATTERS OF SECONDS YOU WILL KNOW IF THEY ARE HIV FREE. AND IF THEY ARE NOT ON THE WEBSITE, THEN YOU WILL WANT TO ADVISED THEM TO BECOME A MEMBER SO YOU CAN CHECK THEIR HIV STATUS ON A YEARLY BASIS.
KAREN, SAYS OKAY CHRIS SINCE YOU BROUGHT ALL THIS UP, WHAT'S YOUR HIV STATUS? AND LET ME SEE YOUR CARD.
CHRIS, SAYS HERE IS THE HIV FREE CARD I SHOWED YOU IN THE BEGINNING,
THAT'S THE PROOF OF MY HIV STATUS, BUT THAT'S NOT ALL THE INFORMATION THAT THE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE FOR YOUR VERIFICATION OF MY HIV STATUS. REMEMBER THE ID NUMBER THE COMPANY ISSUES TO YOU WHEN YOU SIGN UP. THAT'S HOW YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE TO VIEW MY HIV STATUS. BUT GUESS WHAT YOU CANT SEARCH ME ON THE WEBSITE UNLESS I GIVE YOU MY ID NUMBER. SO HERE IT IS 000000, DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. GO CHECK ME OUT FOR YOURSELF.
OH AND KAREN AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE REASON THE COMPANY HAS IT SET UP THAT WAY, SO THAT NO PERSON CAN SEARCH ANYONE OR ANY CHILDREN TO
FIND OUT WHERE THEY LIVE. WHICH AGAIN I THOUGHT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
KAREN SAYS "SO MY KIDS CAN ACTUALLY HAVE THEIR PICTURE AND NAMES ON
THE WEBSITE, BUT NO ONE CAN CONTACT THEM. WOW THAT'S NEAT. SO NOW I CAN GET MY KIDS INVOLVED IN THIS HIV FREE PROGRAM.
CHRIS SAY YES ,YOU CAN BRING ANY CHILD ANY AGE IN THIS PROGRAM.
KAREN TELLS CHRIS, SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT NOW THERE IS A WAY FOR
MY KIDS TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM ANYONE WHO HAS HIV.
CHRIS SAYS YES, BECAUSE IF ANY OF YOU DAUGHTERS OR SONS AFTER JOINING HIV FREE THEY CAN NOW SHOW THERE HIV FREE CARD TO POTENTIAL DATING PARTNERS AND THEY CAN ASK FOR THEIRS RESULTS. AND IF THEY DON'T HAVE ONE. THEN THEY CAN SUGGEST THAT THEY GET ONE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR SONS OR DAUGHTERS DATING SOMEONE HIV POSITIVE AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF IT.
KAREN SAYS WOW THIS IS BETTER THAN JUST HAVING A HIV TEST. BECAUSE NOW I SEE THAT NOT ONLY WILL MY KIDS HAVE HIV TESTS FOR THEMSELVES BUT NOW THEY CAN KNOW THE HIV RESULTS OF OTHERS. THIS REALLY GIVES ME A PIECE OF MIND TO KNOW THAT IF MY KIDS ARE OUT DATING NOW THEY HAVE MORE PROTECTING THAN JUST USING A CONDOM. CONDOMS ARE VERY LITTLE PROTECTION FOR HIV.
CHRIS SAY KAREN THIS DINNER IS OVER AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, BUT I
HOPE YOU HAVE YOUR HIV FREE CARD SO I CAN CHECK YOUR HIV STATUS.
A OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS A POUND OF CURE.
