Usually the premium is based on your CD4 count, viral load and current health. Sometimes this includes a lower CD4 cut-off where the insurance is more difficult, but if some one was on stable treatment with no other health complications this may still be possible.<\/p>\n<p>As hepatitis C is generally only a slowly progressive infection for most people, and that this involves many years without symptoms, this shouldn&#8217;t complicate HIV-related insurance.<\/p>\n<p>Rothwell and Towler were one of the first to offer HIV-positive insurance and they also insure people with HepC, so this might be a good place to start. I gave one of their advisors a call and this wasn&#8217;t something that seemed a concern. The decision to insure someone is based on current health though and it sound like both conditions are stable for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hello, its been awhile since i&#8217;ve visited this site but that&#8217;s good as i&#8217;ve not had any worries of questions untill now. I&#8217;m hiv positive and have also hep c so i need a insurance company who will cover myself with both at the moment i cant find one whom will take me on with both many will as far i i can see with just the hiv side but I am unable to find one that covers both. Any idea? remembering i can&#8217;t just ring these up and ask direct since they as all insurance will ask my details before even entering into a dislcosure of what and why of the policies&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4495\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
