Would you marry/have kids with a woman who has had a blood transfusion?So I want to know who would actually go ahead and marry or have kids a with a woman who has had a blood transfusion earlier during her life knowing the extreme dangers that she may develop hepatitis c or HIV later in life because of this transfusion......

wow! you can't even "develop" HIV later in life, this question is hilarious lol
People get blood transfusions in order to save their lives, the blood is highly tested
we aren't in the 1980's anymore.

Now days the blood is screened so thoroughly it would be next to impossible to contract any of these diseases. They specifically screen for HIV and Hepatitis. Since this was something done earlier in her life, you don't specify how long ago, all she needs to do is go see her physician and they can do a blood test to rule out any of these conditions.

Those Are just Myth. You guys can go together and have her checked for blood diseases like HIV and if she´s clean, no virus or disease will develop just out of nowhere

Millions of people have had a pint of blood or two from friends, family and the blood bank without any problems -- and any problems would have shown up a lot sooner. I would not worry at all. Many women can be so anemic and low in iron when young, especially when they didn't eat well when young, or in sports, etc. they have to have help, like blood, to get back their strength and well-being.

how long ago did she have the transfusion? if you are worried, explain to her and get her tested for Hep B, Hep C and HIV. if she is tested negative after about 1 yr post transfusion, chances are she is free from the diseases.

so my answer is yes will go ahead with marriage and kids.

btw, just to add on, all blood products are tested at the point of collection. meaning, if the donors are in the early stages of infection, there is still a tiny possibility that they will be tested as negative. the testing methods employed today are extremely sensitive, a major breakthrough especially with the Nuclear Acid Testing for the Hep B, C and HIV

so, the best is for the individual who received the transfusion to get themselves tested if they are still worried.

Helpful answer below. Explains the prevention, causes, symptoms, modes of transmission, and treatment of hepatitis C.
