Evidence-based risk assessment for HIV
HIV infection has transformed from a fatal illness with an extremely high death toll to a highly treatable chronic disease. Thanks to steady medical progress in the past decades, today people living with HIV can be successfully treated. Mortality and morbidity rates have decreased sharply.
However, this positive development is not yet reflected in the insurance world. Despite good treatment options, people living with HIV are still excluded from certain insurance solutions, such as occupational disability insurance.
Therefore, a revision of HIV underwriting guidelines is absolutely necessary. And that's what we have done.
For the first time, MIRA enables evidence-based risk assessment for people living with HIV for all product lines.

MIRA now enables our clients to conduct evidence-based risk assessments for all Life insurance coverages for people living with HIV. Through our collaboration with "The Danish Cohort Study", we have access to one of the world's most comprehensive and well-documented HIV registries and can provide in-depth life insurance-specific analysis to extend insurability.

We anticipate future regulations and push the boundaries of insurability for HIV and other chronic diseases. In doing so, we proactively set standards in risk assessment and prove our commitment to a more inclusive and responsible society.

A revision of the existing underwriting rules on HIV is urgent, not only because of medical progress. Ongoing change towards a more inclusive society calls for destigmatisation of vulnerable groups. Furthermore, increasing government regulations require a re-evaluation of existing rules and restrictions for people living with HIV.
