Service Acceptance
You agree and have the legal right and ability to: (i) enter into this Agreement, (ii) use the services for your personal benefit and (iii) abide by the obligations in the Agreement.
You have made an informed decision to use the Services, and have been given all necessary and relevant information to make that decision. You agree by accepting the Services that you are a patient of APG Services, and are entering into a patient-provider relationship with the healthcare provider(s) that APG Services assigns to you. You give permission (consent) to APG Services to test you for one or more sexually transmitted diseases or infections (including HIV, where applicable) at a Lab. You understand that the testing may involve the collection of body fluids or tissue, including blood or urine ("Sample"), in accordance with standard testing procedure, and that the Lab may require you to complete additional paperwork before testing. You understand that while the tests performed on your Samples are approved by regulatory agencies to detect the presence or absence of a specific disease or infection, they are not perfect or absolute. As stated on our website (the "Site"), there is a statistical possibility that a test may yield a false-positive or a false-negative test result, which may result in an inadvertent misdiagnosis.
You agree that any prescriptions for medical treatment or services that you receive from an APG Services physician shall be solely for your personal use. You agree to fully and carefully read all provided product information and labels and to contact a physician or pharmacist if you have any questions regarding the prescription. APG Services makes no representations or warranties about the adequacy or accuracy of any information provided by the manufacturer, pharmacist or clinician on any prescription drug products or any treatment, therapy or application provided in response to a prescription from an APG Services physician.
