Friends of our sponsors  …. Unusual Risks the medical financial advisers have today published the results of their latest research into the insurance needs of HIV Positive people. They have recently established that 76% of HIV+ people cancel an insurance contract following their diagnosis.

Their recent survey asked searching questions about the insurance needs of HIV+ people and in particular the terms and conditions around Life Assurance, Life Insurance, Income Protection, Critical Illness and Private Medical Insurance that are directed towards the HIV community.

During the survey it was established that each person responding to the survey had on average surrendered or cancelled almost two financial products and it was also established that 50%* of respondents had surrendered their Life Assurance or Life Insurance plans, even though they were likely to have been covered for HIV.
