[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he Black? It is common knowledge that [b]Black people must be screened for sickle cell [/b]due to it being more common in that demographic. Other racial/ethnic groups have other conditions that must be screened for. When I was pregnant, I had to fill out a form at the OBGYN that asked about both of our ethnic backgrounds so that they would know what they needed to test for.[/quote] WTF. Most Black people are not screened for sickle cell.[/quote] LOL agreed. I’m married to a man of color and have never been tested, nor was it brought up [/quote] It depends on what you mean by man of color. It is more common in people of African (especially West African) and South Asian ancestry but not common in people of East Asian ancestry.[/quote]
