Life insurance coverage for HIV

Will I be insurable regardless of my status with HIV?

Yes! We will have plans that will accept everyone regardless of their HIV status. It is possible for someone with HIV to obtain life insurance, but the availability and cost of coverage may depend on a number of factors.

In the past, people with HIV were often denied coverage or faced very high premiums due to the perception that HIV was a death sentence. However, medical advances in HIV treatment and improved life expectancy have led many insurance companies to reconsider their underwriting practices for people living with HIV.

Today, many insurance companies offer life insurance policies to people with HIV, but the coverage, premiums, and requirements for underwriting may vary. Some factors that insurance companies may consider when underwriting a life insurance policy for someone with HIV include the individual’s current health status, viral load, CD4 count, and adherence to treatment. Insurance companies may also require a medical exam and review of medical records as part of the underwriting process.

It’s important to note that even if someone with HIV is able to obtain life insurance, the cost of coverage may be higher than for someone without HIV. Insurance companies may charge higher premiums to offset the increased risk of mortality associated with HIV, and may limit coverage amounts or impose other restrictions on the policy.

If you are living with HIV and interested in obtaining life insurance, it is important to speak with us as we will work to find the right insurance company and the underwriting requirements and options for people with HIV. We can help you navigate the process and find a policy that meets your needs and budget.

There are several types of life insurance options available for people living with HIV, although the availability and terms of coverage may vary depending on the insurance company and individual circumstances. Some common types of life insurance policies for people living with HIV include:

  1. Guaranteed issue life insurance: This type of policy does not require a medical exam or health questions, and is generally available to anyone who meets the age requirements. Guaranteed-issue policies are typically more expensive and offer lower coverage amounts than traditional life insurance policies, but they may be a good option for those who have difficulty obtaining coverage through other means.
  2. Simplified issue life insurance: This type of policy requires some health questions but no medical exam, and is designed to be easier to qualify for than traditional life insurance. Simplified issue policies may offer higher coverage amounts than guaranteed issue policies, but may also have higher premiums.
  3. Traditional life insurance: Some insurance companies may offer traditional life insurance policies to people living with HIV who meet certain health requirements, such as having a certain CD4 count, an undetectable viral load, and adhering to a prescribed treatment regimen. Traditional life insurance policies generally offer the highest coverage amounts and the most favorable rates but may require a medical exam and more detailed underwriting.

When considering life insurance options, it’s important to shop around and compare policies and premiums from multiple insurance companies. It’s also a good idea to work with a licensed insurance agent who has experience working with people living with HIV and can help you find a policy that meets your needs and budget.
