HIV/AIDS
The Managed Care Plan offers HIV-positive members and their dependants a confidential management programme, aimed at keeping them well and providing access to increased benefits to help manage their condition more effectively. We encourage you and your dependants to register on the programme, as early detection of HIV infection means that preventive or other forms of treatment can begin immediately. This lengthens and improves quality of life and decreases the chance of complications, which can occur if the condition is unmanaged. It is therefore essential that members know their status and take early preventative care.
Members registered on the HIV/AIDS management programme must follow the agreed treatment plan.
