“It is a drive giving as many people the opportunity to know one’s status. If you know your status, you could not only protect yourself, you can protect the other person so when we rid our streets of STIs, specifically HIV, we are ensuring that our sheets are safe,” she said while appearing on the Working for You programme on February 10, 2021.

Operation Safe Streets, Safe Sheets is broken down into four parts with the first step centered around education.

At this step, Mrs Pemberton Vaughan said that “counsellors are going to do a very good job, they will answer all your questions, clear up any myths, any understandings and put you at ease.”

The second step is the examination process that is referred to as FERC. FERC she says is the acronym for “Free, Easy, Reliable, and Confidential”.

Demonstration is the third stage where the safety officers will explain and demonstrate the process of using certain tools such as male and female condoms, and lubricants.

“The the final step is the certification where you go by your secretary and she stamps your rider’s license (lover’s license) and that is the official seal of the Ministry of Health,” says Mrs. Pemberton-Vaughan.
