The Life Insurance Market
|
In the future, people diagnosed with AIDS may not need to claim on their sickness insurance, following new drug trials.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Academic Health Centre have been testing the effectiveness of two cancer drugs in fighting AIDS and have come up with encouraging results.
The drugs were used on mice and resulted in lethal mutagenesis – that is, the AIDS-causing HIV virus mutated itself to death.
With no lethal side effects noted, it is now hoped that the drugs work in a similar way for humans as well, which could mean that sometime in the future, people may not need to claim on their sickness insurance for the disease.
However, this would be many years into the future, so for the time being at least, sickness insurance is still advisable.
