Can I get disability insurance if I have HIV?
Sometimes employers will offer disability insurance. Disability insurance can help you navigate through a very difficult health crisis. Not just with HIV but as life throws its curve balls at you, disability insurance could be important. If you were to get sick from HIV, from serious progressive HIV, you may need to go on disability benefits. Although the HIV medicine is so good these days fewer and fewer people with HIV are going on disability benefits and more and more HIV positive people are continuing to work and have productive lives.
