While you feel it is the end of the road, there is nothing to worry. Today, you can avail the benefits of HIV life insurance to lead the life style you desire in style.

What is HIV Life Insurance?

HIV life insurance is a life insurance policy specifically designed to cater to the insurance needs of people affected with HIV. Prior to 2002, there was no such policy with the insurance companies. The reason behind this situation was the lack of information to assess the risk involved with HIV people. During 2002, insurance companies have identified that HIV is a disease like diabetes or any other chronic condition. This concept gave HIV life insurance to light. While the charges and payment terms would naturally differ with the normal policies, owing to the risks involved, this really is a good move as people with HIV can now avail a life insurance to streamline their lives in an efficient manner.

Types of HIV Life Insurance Policies

Taking a life insurance policy at an early age is always beneficiary in terms of premium payments. People who have taken a policy before contracting HIV can enjoy the benefits, a normal policy offers. However, if you have HIV, then there are normally 3 types of HIV Life insurance policies available today.

Guaranteed Issued Life Insurance Policy

Guaranteed issued life insurance policies are issued to anyone, regardless of their health condition and this policy is available to HIV people too. You don’t need to produce any medical certificate or other health documents. There is a waiting period of 2-3 years before you can avail any benefits from this policy. While you pay your premiums during this period, you get nothing out of it if there is any death involved within that period. However, when you outlive this period, you can enjoy the policy benefits. This is how insurance companies lower the risk factor.

Employee Sponsored Group Insurance

This is a normal group insurance policy sponsored by your employee. You can be a part of this group and avail the benefits of the insurance. As soon as your employment ends, you can convert this group policy into an individual one, depending on the terms and conditions.

There are few companies who offer individual life insurance taken into several aspects into consideration like the age, intensity of the disease, healthy conditions and other financial factors.
