Online wellness and health platform
 
 I am grateful this is the first article Ivan writing on this platform, this is an issue that need to be continually  addressed, I have heard people say all that matters is love, love conquers all things, I think the court should make this a pre requisite for exchangingr vows... You need to know and have an informed consent on-the-go person you want to live with forever
 Here are the test to be done before wedding
1.THE GENOTYPE TEST
 I will subscribe the genotypic test to be the first test to be done, this test allows you to know whether you are AA, AS, SS, AC, or SC, to avoid wasting of time, this test should be done from the beginning of the relationship. The genotype test helps one to determine whether one has the aisle cell gene, sickle cell disease is a chronic and decorating medical condition caused by a defect in the red blood cells, as the name implies this cells are sickles and this affects their ability to pass through tiny blood vessels to supply oxygen to cells and tissues, it's advisable for sickle cell gene(SS) not to marry a carrier of the sickle cell(AS)because of the 50percent chance of having a baby with the disease in each pregnancy,however a sickles cell patient can marry a person without sickle cell(AA)as offerings will be carriers of the sickled cell genes. AS and AS should nor marry do to the 25percent chances of having a baby with it.
2.BLOOD GROUP AND RHESUS FACTOR TEST
   It's a basic test done in the laboratory by the medical laboratory scientist,basically for information purposes and doesn't determine whether couples can get married. The rhesus factor should be a determinant,but with the advancement of science there is nothing wrong with you knowing your spouse blood group, blood group test is important before marriage because of rhesus isoimmunisation/blood group immunization that affect the fetus with 20minutes,let be explain further, blood group is assigned to individuals as A, B, O and AB with another component as rhesus factors with is either positive or negative(+) or negative(-) woman with rhesus negative blood group married to rhesus positive husband have a greater chances of rhesus incompatibility where the mother produces antibodies(body defence system) to target the red blood cells of the growing fetus leading to miscarriage or intra uterine death
OTHER Auxiliary test of utmost importance are:
