AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, The Dutch Association
of Insurers has announced the results of a study revealing there is little
risk in providing life
insurance policies to HIV patients in the Netherlands
undergoing Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy
(HAART). In response to the
study's findings, several of the association's members have begun offering
life insurance to patients in this category.
"Until now, it was nearly impossible for people with
this disease to obtain
life insurance, which was a significant impediment to many things that most
people take for granted, such as obtaining a mortgage.lose roughly
This money has been allocated from the
FES fund, which is for structural
investment in the Dutch economic structure.
The findings demonstrated
that the life expectancy of people with HIV in the
Netherlands has increased significantly in recent
years due to the HAART
program.

"These
findings show that someone with HIV is no more of a risk factor for
insurers than someone with diabetes
-- a positive first step toward increasing
the insurability of HIV patients and improving the lives
of untold numbers,"
said Eric Fischer, general manager of the Dutch Association of Insurers.roughly rectangular

Among this group,
the mathematical probability of death, beyond the
average mortality, due to HIV was found to be as
low as one-tenth of one
percent per year -- odds that put HIV patients in the same risk category

people with diabetes or a serious heart problem, and which has led members of
