People who are HIV+ can now be considered for all forms of Life insurance; that includes Life, TPD, Income Protection, and Trauma insurance. Yes, there is a slight increase in price, but the timeline below shows the shift over the years.
Going back 6 months ago, the most likely outcome was just Life insurance, and it was only possible with up to a 250% increase in pricing. TPD, Income Protection was difficult and at best just for accidents only (no medical coverage), while Trauma was not even considered.
Going back to when I started in this industry 10 years ago, the most likely outcome was again a heavily priced policy just for Life insurance only (no TPD, Income Protection or Trauma), and a term of up to 10 years - which means the client couldn't have the policy for more than 10 years.
This is huge news for anyone who is HIV+ and needs to protect their assets, lifestyle, family, children, or spouse.
