If your spouse has HIV, don’t you think your health insurance company has the right to use that info in deciding the amount of your premium?

I didn’t say it was either a good policy or a bad policy. I(1) said I’d never heard of it before, and (2) implied that Big Brother is intrusive.

When a government negotiates insurance premiums for a group, each individual employee is not reviewed on a case-by-case basis. At least, that was the case when I was involved in negotiations.
