ABI's New Draft Statement Of Best Practice For HIV and Insurance: Response To Consultation And Suggested Ways Forward

In September 2003, the Association Of British Insurers sent out an open consultation paper to insurers and stakeholder groups, asking for views on a proposed new Statement of Best Practice for HIV and Insurance.

Isis Financial Planners contributed to the Consultation and Louis Letourneau discussed this in his Gay Times article in April 2004 - Life Insurance for Gay Men.

The new draft Statement updates substantially the existing guidance, which was first published in 1994, and revised in 1997. It sets out requirements and guidance for insurance industry professionals for use when dealing with applications for insurance where HIV may be an issue.
