Our company was developed for the purpose of getting vital health information to a targeted area of the public that does not or will not seek out that information on their own. This vital information and service is largely available only through city, state and Federal health organizations. Our company takes that information in all its forms, directly to this targeted group where they are found. We try to supply these particular areas with materials for the prevention and spread of the HIV/AIDS virus and the various other communicable diseases that are rising at an alarming rate in our society.
As a 501 c-3 non-profit charity, we are a group of six volunteers who feel very strongly about the importance of providing the educational materials and the actual products, such as condoms and lubricant, where they will actually be accessed and used. Our hope is that we can, by working through this method, stem the progression of all of these sexually transmitted diseases. We understand the magnitude of this problem and look at it realistically. If we can develop an understanding in just one person to look at their sexual activity from our standpoint, then we feel great.
As an outreach company, we provide condoms, to most of the gay bars in the area. At this time we are serving these Florida counties: Pinellas, Pasco, Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk,Lake, Hernando, Sarasota and Citrus and probably will gain more in the future as the need arises and as our ability increases. At the present time we have included male as well as the female locations. So far, we are supplying two of the so called “straight” bars on Madeira Beach, near St. Petersburg, Florida. We are in the process of planning to increase this number considerably when circumstances make that possible. We feel very strongly that this issue is of great concern to ALL segments of our society even though we are specifically targeting the gay community at this time.
From what you have read above, we hope it is clear that our main objective is to prevent the spread of HIV and all other STD’s. We also have available condoms and lubricants along with information about how to use condoms. We suggest that you be tested and be aware. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of your partner(s).
Our objectives are simple as well. We go where the people are located. We provide those people with literature, condoms and lubricants. We provide demonstrations and lectures whenever needed. We provide a list of testing sites and encourage everyone to be tested soon and at least every six months because of sexual activity. We provide discussion and counseling whenever and wherever necessary to one person, groups or clubs and organizations.
At the present time, our non-profit charity consists of six volunteers. Four are working on a nearly full time basis and two are considered associate volunteers.
