Sickle cell disease is a chronic disease that affects many black communities. One of the ways to avoid it altogether is to be informed on taking blood & genotype tests prior to sexual activity that’s meant for conception & birth.The blood test will reveal the sickle cell status that will help you make an informed decision on whether to have children together especially if both tests come out as SS( sickle cell disease ) +SS! Therefore, it is strongly advised against because 100% chances of having a child with a full blown out sickle cell disease is very high when it could have been avoided! It can be very sad if you love your partner and then have to let them go because of this. But remember the pain of the future in raising that child together while you both are struggling to stay physically & mentally strong too!
