MEDICAL SCREENING BEFORE MARRIAGE FOR AIDS AND THALASSEMIA

Abstract

This research discusses the significance of premarital medical screening for AIDS and thalassemia, highlighting its role in promoting public health and informed family planning. With rising concerns about genetic disorders and infectious diseases, screening provides 
crucial insights into potential health risks for prospective couples. Early detection of thalassemia can guide couples in understanding their genetic compatibility while screening for HIV/AIDS ensures awareness and necessary precautions to prevent transmission. Implementing these screenings can reduce the incidence of congenital disorders and improve overall community health. Furthermore, education and counseling accompanying screening results empower couples to make informed reproductive choices. Integrating such screenings into premarital processes is essential for fostering healthier families and societies. Encouraging awareness and accessibility of these tests can ultimately lead to improved health outcomes and reduce the burden of these conditions.
