• Declare that I have received individual counselling and education on HIV/AIDS in a language that I understand and that I am able to make an informed decision on joining the Prime Cure Disease Management Programme (“the Programme”).
• Confirm that the information provided in this application is true and correct and that I voluntarily subscribe to become part of the Programme.

Prime Cure and my medical scheme (“the scheme”) shall accordingly not be liable for any claims by me or my dependants arising from my participation in the Programme.

• To the health care workers responsible for my treatment and/or management in terms of the Programme providing the Programme’s case managers with clinical information about my HIV/AIDS infection, and the treatment and management thereof.

Provided that no clinical information regarding my HIV/AIDS status will be available to my employer(s) or any other person not involved in my health care, or case management, without my express written consent.

• Acknowledge that whilst Prime Cure shall use its best endeavours to uphold the confidentiality of all information disclosed to it, Prime Cure shall not be liable for any claims by me or my dependants arising from any unintentional unauthorised disclosure of my personal information, my HIV/AIDS status, and the treatment and management thereof to a third party; or
