Travel Insurance For Pre-existing Conditions Like HIV

Travel Insurance For Pre-existing Conditions Like HIV | Gay Men's Health & News | Scoop.it
From thehealthybear.com - April 8, 2018 11:27 PM

Travel Insurance With HIV:  Today I wanted to share a post highlighting the importance of travel insurance for people with pre-existing illnesses such as HIV, diabetes, heart disease or other conditions that would normally be excluded from travel insurance coverage.

Today I highlight how to get comprehensive coverage when travelling.

The Healthy Bear's insight:

This is an important issue for people who travel living with HIV. Are you 100% sure your medical expenses will be paid if you get sick overseas? Be sure to check your travel insurance covers HIV as well.

The Healthy Bear's insight:

Just to note, the RAPID HIV test is very accurate however you need to understand that the Alere rapid HIV test can't detect HIV antibodies earlier than 14 days, and for complete confidence you need to be tested 90 days after exposure to HIV. This is the HIV Window Period

The Healthy Bear's curator insight, August 10, 2015 8:37 PM

One of the most common questions asked by people getting a rapid HIV test is "how accurate is this test?"

We know that 90 days after potential exposure to HIV (the window period) a test with no reaction is HIV negative.

To learn more about the HIV window period please feel free to review this page and video: Understanding the HIV Window Period
