I stil remember my hematology lectures of years back vividly........ AA genotype are more prone to infections (esp malaria) than AS, this is because of the configuration of the RBC cell wall. It's orientation gives it a larger surface area which permits the bugs to settle well and do their thang.
AS on the other hand, though they less frequently have malaria buh when they do have it, o boy! It's be as severe as you can imagine.
SS are most prone to ailments because their RBC cell wall configuration makes them very fragile to cell lysis by the bugs.
BTW OP, saying AS carrier is tautology, AS by default is a carrier of the sickler gene.

. Please stop glorifying AA because aside being able to copulate with anyone it isn't any better than AS.
