Lab Testing Before Marriage?

Lab Testing Before Marriage? Dear Dr, I am planning to get married to my sweetheart very soon. What medical tests do you recommend for us to undergo and why? Jasper Jokolo, Daura, Katsina Dear Jasper, You need to test what kind of Haemoglobin you are both carrying so you do not produce babies that have sickle cell anemia. The test is called Genotype. Then you'll need to ascertain your Blood Groups should there be need for blood transfusion for you. Fasting Blood Sugar helps to detect Diabetes. HIV testing assures you that you are free of the dread disease. Pregnancy testing can give you much assurance in the relationship. These should do. Cheers Dr.Caleb Bibbi Oluranti
