1. I shall demonstrate through oral or written examination that I have been educated
regarding my medical condition and its implications in my life. I understand the correct
procedure for disposal or cleansing of physical objects soiled with my body wastes or
fluids of any type. I accept my moral and ethical duties to others as well as myself in
refraining from activities, which could spread the disease as defined by accepted and
current medical authorities.
2. I will permit the disclosure of my medical condition to my spouse. Failure to do so will
result in denial of all passes and leave. I am aware that I may ask the Center's Health Care
Provider (if any) to help me disclose my condition to my spouse.
3. I will have regular medical examinations by a physician who is aware of my medical
condition. My physician will notify my Superintendent in writing if my condition
becomes such that I am not capable of working or if there are any other medical
limitations, which restrict my participation in the work place. I agree to sign a release of
information form that will allow my Superintendent access to any medical information
concerning my condition during the period I am in the program.

any used needle or syringe.

10. I am aware that under O.C.G.A. § 16-5-60(c), it is a felony to knowingly participate in
