A guaranteed life insurance policy through an employer is all you'll find other than very low policy amount ones (like the AARP burial/final expense plans) that don't exclude for HIV.  I've converted 2 employer ones to individual when leaving the company, just let one lapse though from my previous job.

I got something from Met Life regarding life insurance.  They were offering it to me with no medical questions/exams.  The only other one I know is Colonial Penn, which guarantees people 50+ cannot be rejected, and they are not supposed to ask any medical questions either.

While I did not take the insurance policy from Met Life, due to other financial obligations, it may be worth checking out.  I don't know how old you are, but if you're 50 or over, you could also contact Colonial Penn.
