Association of British Insurers publishes new guide on HIV and life insurance

Wed, 16 Jul 2008

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) is publishing an updated version of its Consumer Guide for Gay Men on HIV and life Insurance, and a new Guide on countries with high HIV prevalence and insurance .

Nick Kirwan, the ABI’s assistant director, health and protection insurance, said that the new guide built on the work done by the insurance industry to make sure that lesbian and gay people are treated fairly and have access to practical information about insurance.

Mr Kirwan said: "We've updated our Consumer Guide to reflect changes being made across the industry to ensure that people in civil partnerships are treated the same as married couples." He added that a new guide would also be available which would give practical advice on insurance for people who come from, or have visited countries where there is widespread HIV.

Chris Morgan, managing director of Compass, a specialist IFA for the gay community, said that it was extremely important that information about life and protection insurance issues was available to the gay community.
