[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before getting married?[/quote] On the first real date —long story, but we are both mixed ancestry AA. Sickle cell disease/trait status and thalassemia disease/trait status are a critical conversation for dating couples who have African, Arab, and Southern Italian ancestry.[/quote] My AA husband is sickle cell carrier. He did not tell me. It only came out when we had a son (we also had a girl but she does not have the trait). We actually got a letter from the DC dept of Health informing us. At that point he "remembered" being a carrier. Our son will have to tell his future partner if they plan to have children. [/quote]
