Home Warranties: A potential benefit for both buyers and sellers alike.

0 Comments Link | Authored by: Jeff Adoph

The market for homes across the USA has never been more challenging for homeowners trying to sell, nor more mind-boggling for buyers shopping among the historically overwhelming inventory of discounted listings. At the same time, mortgage lenders are more stringent than ever due to painful losses due to delinquencies and foreclosures, so it is important to write purchase offers on houses that can hold up to mortgage company and appraiser scrutiny. But beyond the initial sale of a home, legitimate buyer concerns arise regarding the condition of the home – and whether it will continue to provide a problem-free experience after the keys change hands.

In Brittan Life insurance 'no longer discriminates against gay people'

0 Comments Link | Authored by: Jeff Adoph

Living a homosexual lifestyle no longer incurs discrimination from life insurance providers, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said.

The industry body remarked that consumers may view being gay as a factor that could affect their application for life insurance, but that this is no longer the case.

"It's possible that there has been a perception that applications were not treated in the same way in the past, but now no longer do people have to disclose.what their sexuality is," said a spokesperson for the organisation.

In October 2005, a new Statement of Best Practice on HIV and Insurance was introduced by the industry, which included guidelines on questions it is "reasonable" to ask to assess an applicant's likelihood of contracting HIV - these questions should not relate to sexuality, the document advised.

"There is government legislation now which means that you don't have to disclose whether you're in a civil partnership, so there can be no way that the insurance company knows what your sexuality is," the industry spokesperson advised.

Meanwhile, Legal & General recently advised people that full disclosure is essential when applying for critical illness cover.

In hunt for HIV vaccine, focus shifts to stopping transmission

0 Comments Link | Authored by: Jeff Adoph

Scientists have known since 1984 that HIV causes AIDS. But for more than two decades since, the cunning human immunodeficiency virus has foiled all efforts to develop a vaccine.

As nearly a thousand of the world's top vaccine researchers gather in downtown Seattle this week for the four-day AIDS Vaccine 2007 Conference, some of them say the most realistic goal now isn't a vaccine to prevent HIV infection, but rather one that prevents HIV from being passed on.

"The HIV virus is an elusive virus," said Dr. Glenda Gray, a pediatrician and co-founder of the perinatal HIV research unit at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa.

"I don't think anyone would have expected that it would take so long to find a vaccine."

At the same time, vaccine hunters remain unshaken in their belief that a vaccine is the only way to eventually eradicate AIDS. That's because it is clear now that it's impossible to completely eliminate the biggest sources of infection: unprotected sex, sharing needles, and childbearing and breastfeeding by infected women.
