It is important to do your sickle cell genetic test before you get pregnant or get married. We have noticed that most women come to the hospital already pregnant and want to do the sickle cell genetic test, but this is not right. You have to do it before marriage or before you get pregnant. This test is usually called HB electrophoresis. It does not take up to 30 minutes to get your results. If you are planning to get pregnant or get married, it's essential to do this simple test to know if you are genetically compatible with your partner.
