HIV insurance surcharges persist despite medical advances
Le SoirLO·BE·1 day ago
Unia, Belgium's equality body, reports that despite HIV being a manageable chronic condition, insured individuals with HIV still face disadvantages in insurance underwriting. The 'right to be forgotten' law, which applies to cancer survivors, does not extend to HIV, leaving a gap in protection. This highlights a policy inconsistency and potential discrimination in the Belgian insurance market.
