                       Supplement Dated October 1, 1998
           to May 1, 1998 Prospectus or Contract Prospectus Summary
    


This supplement describes Series D of Aetna GET Fund ("GET D"), an investment
option which may be available under the Contract described by the Variable
Annuity Account B or C Prospectus or Contract Prospectus Summary, and a
guarantee offered by the Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("Aetna") in
connection with investments in GET D. GET D may not be available in all
jurisdictions, under all Contracts or in all Plans. See the prospectus for GET
D for a more complete description of the Fund, including charges and expenses.

AETNA GET FUND--SERIES D
GET D seeks to achieve maximum total return without compromising a minimum
targeted rate of return by participating in favorable equity market performance
during the Guaranteed Period which runs from January 16, 1999 through January
15, 2004. GET D shares will be offered for a limited time period, from October
15, 1998 through the close of business on January 15, 1999 ("Offering Period").
Aeltus Investment Management, Inc. is the investment adviser to GET D.

THE GET FUND GUARANTEE
GET D will mature on January 15, 2004 ("Maturity Date"), which will end the
Guaranteed Period for GET D. Aetna guarantees that the value of a GET D
accumulation unit on the Maturity Date will not be less than the value of a GET
D accumulation unit as valued after the close of business on the last day of
the Offering Period. If necessary, Aetna will transfer funds from its General
Account to GET D to offset any shortfall. THIS GUARANTEE DOES NOT APPLY TO
WITHDRAWALS OR TRANSFERS MADE BEFORE THE MATURITY DATE. Such withdrawals or
transfers are made at the actual accumulation unit value on the date of the
transaction.

GET D is only available as an investment option during the accumulation period.
GET D should not be selected if annuity payments or other withdrawals or
transfers from GET D are expected to begin prior to the Maturity Date. Contract
Holders or Participants must transfer any portion of the value of their account
("Account Value") held in GET D to another investment option before an annuity
option is elected.

   
Prior to the Maturity Date, Aetna will send a notice to each Contract
Holder/Participant with amounts in GET D reminding them that the Maturity Date
is approaching and that another investment option must be elected. If no such
election is made, on the Maturity Date Aetna will transfer the portion of the
Account Value based on GET D to another available series of GET Fund. If no GET
Fund series is available, 50% of the Account Value from GET D will be
transferred to Aetna Variable Fund d/b/a Aetna Growth and Income VP, a growth
and income fund. The remaining 50% of the Account Value from GET D will be
transferred to Aetna Income Shares d/b/a Aetna Bond VP, a bond fund. The
transfers will be made as of the next determined accumulation unit value.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

     As of July 31, 1998, there were 612,538 individuals holding interests in
variable annuity contracts funded through Variable Annuity Account C.

Item 28. Indemnification

Section 21 of Public Act No. 97-246 of the Connecticut General Assembly (the
"Act") provides that a corporation may provide indemnification of or advance
expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by Sections
33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended by
Sections 12 to 20, inclusive, of this Act. Reference is hereby made to Section
33-771(e) of the Connecticut General Statutes ("CGS") regarding indemnification
of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of officers,
employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. These statutes provide in
general that Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997
shall, except to the extent that their certificate of incorporation expressly
provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents
against "liability" (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement,
penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee
benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding) when
(1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that the party seeking
indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or
(2) a court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to
Section 33-774. Under Section 33-775, the determination of and the authorization
for indemnification are made (a) by the disinterested directors, as defined in
Section 33-770(3); (b) by special counsel; (c) by the shareholders; or (d) in
the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation,
by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board
of directors may specify. Also, Section 33-772 provides that a corporation shall
indemnify an individual who was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise
against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding to
which he was a party because he was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation. In the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or
employee was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit
to which he was not entitled, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the proceeding against the corporation to which the
individual was named a party.

The statute does specifically authorize a corporation to procure indemnification
insurance on behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employer or
agent of the corporation. Consistent with the statute, Aetna Inc. has procured
insurance from Lloyd's of London and several major United States excess insurers
for its directors and officers and the directors and officers of its
subsidiaries, including the Depositor.

Item 29. Principal Underwriter

     (a) In addition to serving as the principal underwriter and depositor for
         the Registrant, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (Aetna) also
         acts as the principal underwriter, only, for Aetna Variable Encore
         Fund, Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna Generation Portfolios, Inc., Aetna
         Income Shares, Aetna Balanced VP, Inc. (formerly Aetna Investment
         Advisers Fund, Inc.), Aetna GET Fund, and Aetna Variable Portfolios,
         Inc. and as the principal underwriter and investment adviser for
         Portfolio Partners, Inc. (all management investment companies
         registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)).
         Additionally, Aetna acts as the principal underwriter and depositor for
         Variable Life Account B of Aetna, Variable Annuity Account B of Aetna
         and Variable Annuity Account G of Aetna (separate accounts of Aetna
         registered as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act). Aetna is also
         the principal underwriter for Variable Annuity Account I of Aetna
         Insurance Company of America (AICA) (a separate account of AICA
         registered as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act).

     (b) See Item 25 regarding the Depositor.

                      Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company
                      151 Farmington Avenue

Item 31. Management Services

     Not applicable

Item 32. Undertakings

     Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (a) to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on
         Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited
         financial statements in the registration statement are never more than
         sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable annuity
         contracts may be accepted;

     (b) to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by
         a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4,
         a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of
         Additional Information; and

<PAGE>

     (c) to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial
         statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly
         upon written or oral request.

     (d) The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with
         the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through (4) of the SEC Staff's
         No-Action Letter dated November 22, 1988 with respect to language
         concerning withdrawal restrictions applicable to plans established
         pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. See American
         Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1989 Transfer Binder]
         Fed. SEC. L. Rep. (CCH) P. 78,904 at 78,523 (November 22, 1988).

     (e) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
         Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
         persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
         otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
         public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
         In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
         (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
         by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
         successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
         such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
         securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
         of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
         such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
         Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (f) Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that the fees and
         charges deducted under the contracts covered by this registration
         statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services
         rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed
         by the insurance company.

The Contract and Certificate are hereby endorsed by adding the following
provision:

     Notwithstanding the Change of Contract provision of this Contract, Aetna

     Contracts as the "General Account") and the Fixed Plus Account (if
     available under this Contract). Aetna may add interest daily at any higher
     rate. This paragraph does not in any way reduce any other minimum interest
     guarantee set forth in this Contract.

     Aetna will make available to the Contract Holder the rate currently being
credited to such amounts.

Endorsed and made a part of the Contract and Certificate effective on the later
of the date of receipt of any required state approval or the Effective Date of
the Contract.

The Contract and Certificate are hereby endorsed as follows:

1. For Contracts with the Fixed Account, the Fixed Account Minimum Guaranteed
   Interest Rate provision is restated as follows:

              Aetna will add interest daily to all amounts held in the Fixed
              Account. For each calendar year, Aetna will set a minimum
              guaranteed annual interest rate which will apply to all amounts
              held in the Fixed Account during the calendar year. This rate will
              never be less than an annual rate of 3%. This one year minimum
              guaranteed interest rate will be established prior to each
              calendar year and will be made available to the Contract Holder in
              advance of the calendar year. Aetna, in its discretion, may credit
              interest at a rate greater than this one year rate. Aetna will
              make available to the Contract Holder the rate currently being
              credited to amounts held in the Fixed Account.

2. For Contracts with the Fixed Plus Account, the Fixed Plus Account Minimum
   Interest Rate provision is restated as follows:

              Aetna will add interest daily to amounts held in the Fixed Plus
              Account. For each calendar year, Aetna will set a minimum
              guaranteed annual interest rate which will apply to all amounts
              held in the Fixed Plus Account during the calendar year. This rate
              will never be less than an annual rate of 3%. This one year
              minimum guaranteed interest rate will be established prior to each
              calendar year and will be made available to the Contract Holder in
              advance of the calendar year. Aetna, in its discretion, may credit
              interest at a rate greater than this one year rate. Aetna will
              make available to the Contract Holder the rate currently being
              credited to amounts held in the Fixed Plus Account.


3.      For Contracts with the Fixed Account, under the Payment of Surrender
        Value provision, the paragraph describing the interest rate to be
        credited during the payment period is amended and restated as follows:

              During the payment period, interest will be credited to the
              remaining Fixed Account balance at a single fixed rate that will
              not be more than two percentage points below the rate being
              credited to the Fixed Account as of the date of surrender. In no
              event will the credited interest rate be less than 3%.

Endorsed and made a part of the Contract and Certificate effective on the
Effective Date of the Contract.

       Form N-4
       Prospectus Title:  Aetna Plus - Retirement Plus and Voluntary
       Tax-Deferred Annuity Plans
       File Nos.:  333-01107 and 811-2513

Dear Sir or Madam:

The undersigned serves as counsel to Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company, a
Connecticut life insurance company (the "Company"). It is my understanding that
the Company, as depositor, has registered an indefinite amount of securities
(the "Securities") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") as
provided in Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment
Company Act").

In connection with this opinion, I or those for whom I have supervisory
responsibility, have reviewed the N-4 Registration Statement, as amended to the
date hereof, and this Post-Effective Amendment No. 11. I have also examined
originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of
such documents, trust records and other instruments I have deemed necessary or
appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion. For purposes of such
examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original
documents and the conformity to the original of all copies.

I am admitted to practice law in Connecticut, and do not purport to be an expert
on the laws of any other state. My opinion herein as to any other law is based
upon a limited inquiry thereof which I have deemed appropriate under the
circumstances.



<PAGE>



Based upon the foregoing, and, assuming the Securities are sold in accordance
with the provisions of the prospectus, I am of the opinion that the Securities
being registered will be legally issued and will represent binding obligations
of the Company.

I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Sincerely,

/s/ Julie E. Rockmore

Julie E. Rockmore
