Do all insurance companies treat people using PrEP medication the same way?
No. There is a large variation between different insurance companies and their underwriters (and sometimes discrimination) across the range of Australian insurance companies. Some see PrEP as a sign of significant promiscuous risk. Some tolerate its use and increase their premiums to offset what they see as an increased risk, while the more informed and professional underwriters recognise PrEP medication as a helpful personal health management tool used by responsible people. You need to know who wants your business and respects your choices and who doesn’t. That's why you need to use Unusualrisks.com.au to help you find the right insurance solution for you and your very personal situation.
Does it matter if I am on a formal PrEP drug trial when I apply for life insurance?
No. PrEP drug trials or personal use should not affect your application for an insurance policy, as long as you use unusualrisks.com.au as your adviser to navigate the process for you.

We treat PrEP like all other medications. The standard questions during an application would include; How long have you used it for? Does your GP keep track of blood results and have you ever had any time off work because of it.
What questions will you ask about my PrEP medication use during an income protection insurance application?
We treat PrEP like all other prescription medications. The standard questions during an application for insurance would include; How long have you used PrEP? Does your GP keep track of blood results, and Have you ever had any time off sick work because of it?
What happens if I have a recent STI history and apply for insurance?
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) are a separate health issue and if managed well, should not present a significant underwriting problem. We would usually like to know if this was a random or regular occurrence. (For example; 12 STI’s a year may indicate a more complex health history whereas 1 or 2 a year may be considered more straightforward). This is a separate health issue. Either way, this is why you need a specialist risk adviser from unusualrisks.com.au to help you navigate the process of getting insurance.
