It is especially important for people who are classed as non-standard by insurance providers to get the right advice to make sure that they get the right cover without costing the earth. Most standard insurance companies tend to shy away from dealing with people with a pre-existing medical condition such as Hypermobility Syndrome for life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection because they either do not have the experience or they simply do not want to deal with doctors reports etc.

Those with severe coarctation of the aorta usually require surgery, although this will depend on their age and overall health. The required procedure is one that widens the aorta, known as an angioplasty procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a person with HIV get life insurance?

Yes, absolutely. Due to the recent changes in life insurance underwriting for HIV, we have seen a number of previous restrictions lifted. We now have access to standard rates and ‘whole of life‘ cover with no term restrictions if you are living with HIV, your viral load is undetectable, and your CD4 count is high.

Similar to other pre-existing medical conditions, if you are HIV positive, you will likely pay higher premiums than someone who isn’t. The exact amount depends on your personal circumstances, which will be assessed when you put forward your application.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed with HIV but already have life insurance, it is well worth reviewing your existing cover, especially if it was obtained several years ago, as it is very likely that some changes could benefit you. 

The Insurance Surgery also offers a free Annual Review service to all our existing / new clients. This means that we constantly make sure that you have the right cover for your ever-changing life and check for any changes in underwriting.

Yes, we do! Use our partner’s Travel Insurance comparison tool to compare over 20 travel insurance quotes, all with your HIV covered, within just a few minutes and only having to input your information once.

Offering free advice, our experts are ready and waiting to offer protection advice on HIV life insurance policies that would best benefit your circumstances. With 25 years of experience, we’re a trusted broker and pride ourselves on making insurance simple.

We understand that finding life insurance can be tricky, especially when you have a pre-existing condition, so why not leave it to us? Give us a call today, and we’ll help you find the ideal policy that suits your needs and matches your budget.
