Life insurance for HIV sufferers @ 02:43 PM

Life insurance could be about have more customers in the UK, after new research reveals that many people with HIV may not even be aware they carry the virus.

Figures released by the Health Protection Agency show that a quarter of British people who have the condition don't even know they have HIV.

The HPA estimates around 86,000 people in Britain carried the virus in 2009.

The treatment of HIV is a life-long process, so having critical illness cover could be crucial in navigating such difficult times.

Head of HIV surveillance at the agency, Valerie Delpech said: "We're very concerned that a large number of people in the UK are unaware of their HIV status."

She adds that half of newly diagnosed people are diagnosed late, meaning that life insurance would offer security, if effective treatment isn't possible. ADNFCR-3251-ID-19948882-ADNFCR -- 1 comments: View - Post your own comment
