11 December 2003 Travel insurance for people with HIV | ![]() |
Terrence Higgins Trust (THT), AXA Insurance and NW Brown have joined forces to offer a travel insurance product which doesn’t discriminate against individuals on the grounds of their HIV status. And better still, for every policy sold, THT will receive a donation.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition such as HIV, travel insurance policies often withdraw certain medical and emergency benefits, or worse still, impose blanket restrictions. This practice is applied particularly to those living with HIV even when you are well and your HIV is well managed. Freedom Travel Insurance aims to address this by providing a comprehensive travel insurance product, which includes full medical cover (subject to health screening).
Andy Munro, Director of Finance at Terrence Higgins Trust says: “We know that many people with HIV find it difficult to get suitable travel insurance and we hope that Freedoms additional partnership with Terrence Higgins Trust will increase the number of people able to benefit from this product.”
