Invisible123:
Good evening all,

I have just found myself in a dilemma that's really disturbing me emotionally. I need matured and candid advice from anyone who cares.

Just recently, myself and my fiancee concluded our introduction ceremony. The wedding comes up middle of this year.

Now the problem :

My fiancee is pregnant, early last month I registered her for anti natal in a very reputable hospital in Lagos. It is standard practice that they run series of tests before commencement of the treatment. After the results came out, my wife didn't disclose the findings to me, she kept it to herself until a day after the introduction.

The results indicated that her genotype is AS of which I'm also AS. Note that we had gone for checks 4 times before committing to each other, on all four occasions the results came out as AA for her. Her mum also confirmed that she is AA, she claimed she got her tested when she was young. Immediately she told me, I got so confused, I started sweating profusely. I immediately took her to another Lab close to the general hospital in my area. We both ran the test, I came our as my usual AS while she came out as AA. Also, Today, just to be sure again, she ran another test in a separate hospital on the Island and she also came out as AA.

My fear:

The hospital I registered her in is a reputable hospital and that's the reason I'm scared. I informed the hospital of my findings, they took another sample and promised to get back to me. It took them two days to call me, they left me and my wife in emotional distress while devising a means to clear their name or confuse me with medical terms. They finally called today and told me she has the AS hemoglobin in her blood but the AA is more pronounced. This got me confused cos if the AA is more pronounced, why release the result as AS in the first place. This is why I find their story hard to believe.

I feel they came up with this excuse just to justify their claim and cover up their mistake. How can 6 clinics and hospitals test her as AA while only this hospital says AS.

Note, just this evening a new test from a separate hospital says she's AA.

Nairalanders, please what do I do? Is it possible for this anomaly to happen ? Is it possible for her to have AS and AA hemoglobin at the same time where one will be more pronounced than the other. And if it's possible, what her the chances of my baby coming out fine.

Thanks Nairalanders.

which one be AS in hamoglobin but AA is more pronounce

OP U self u no even Sabi book at all

See as IT students d confuse you

With my servaral years of experience I haven't heard AS in hamoglobin while AA is more is more pronounce

Why is it only in Nigeria you have this AA and AS stuff?

I sha hope they will not remove you peoples kidneys instead of appendix o. Then tell you guys that yall had inflamed appendix but the kidneys were more pronounced.

Go to any teaching hospital in Lagos and repeat the test.

There is nothing like 'AS' but 'AA' more pronounced. An individual can not be both AS and AA at the same time. Heamoglobin genes are inherited in Mendelian fashion.

Your 'reputable' hospital is confusing blood group with haemoglobin genotype. In blood group we normally report phenotypes. For example: an individual with blood group A could genotypically be AO or AA, but since A is dominant over O both are normally reported as just blood group A.

For haemoglobin, it is the genotype that is reported. Haemoglobin A is the only normal haemoglobin in adults. Any combination other than AA is abnormal.

Invisible123 is really a confused youngman, your so called "reputable" hospital are trying to cover up their blunders. How can six different hospital be wrong.

point of correction...."My confusion in my rship with my fiance" u have not married her and u a r writing in "my young marriage"......take ur time ooo

Nichole Dietary consultancy limited:

HIV/AIDS/SICKLE CELL ANEMIA/HEPATITIS

A very long question and answer session in defence of my " THERE'S NOTHING LIKE GENOTYPE " article.
Very lengthy, but this will answer your questions too.

Ese: Madam, i believe almost every ailment today is lifestyle but your " no virus, no genotype, i seem not to follow that "

" Thanks for your question ma
I will still ask you " who quoted the genotype theory, God or humans ( medical doctors ) "?

What you still fail to catch is " we are treating everything from the foundation now "
When i say lifestyle, we are discussing from the scratch of humanity
The wrong lifestyle discussed here isn't talking about even 300 years ago cos humans drifted long time back

For the records, " orthodox medicine is never natural thus, not for the human body.
God never created them for you "
Humans ignored the herbs, foods that were to keep them automatically healthy, subscribed to combining chemicals and you see every medication today got drastic side effects
Contrary to what foods or herbs will do

Every medication is a combination of chemicals!
They came from nature, yes! but not natural.
They are only imitations of everything in nature
Never the real thing

The nutrients to flush sugar diabetics pay for in some chemicals today surprisingly are foods not those chemicals but many are still dying from same diabetes

I just uploaded some screen grabs of testimonies
So we see for ourselves
If you are diabetic today, Junior can be diabetic not becos he must inherit it but cos he grew with your high blood sugar which could have been corrected if you knew about lifestyle

Diabetes isn't automatic for Junior cos his father had it
It could be changed!
The moment you discover these are lifestyle issues, you can change it

Now talking about the genotype thing, cos I know say na that one dey disturb you ���

Look at this " from day 1 of creation there was no sickle cell anemia "
Kindly note: " whatever am preaching today is from the angle of the beginning of things not just 300 years ago "
Everything was perfect!
Humans were created and given foods and herbs ( which are equally foods ) to eat and and keep fit
" eat these and use as medicine " that was the instruction
But a time came things changed
And what changed ma?
" which kind rice be dis, see as e brown, see dirty, see as e grains short et al "
Humans took the original rice into the machine, wiped out the nutrients, color and fibers in the hulls of rice, lengthened the grains, preserved with chemicals and sugar started remaining in the human blood!

Rice is sugar ( energy )
But the original rice can never give you diabetes reason when twas a whole world of natural foods, nobody suffered diabetes
Eat 1 basin of local rice everyday, nothing do you
Why ?
The local rice was created with nutrients that will automatically push the sugar from your blood to your body for energy covering it

I use ofada also to cure diabetes
Many will be surprised
Doctors will advise diabetics to evade rice that's because they don't really realise something went amiss

There are two types of rice as long as this generation is concerned
" the one God made and the ones humans made "
The ones we made (polished ) is from the original rice but only an imitation
It can never ever be the original thing!
And cos we think we are smarter than God who created the local rice the way it is, we harm ourselves
Now virtually every rice is stark white

Same thing the original wheat
Except you eat the original wheat, the white-like chaff in sachets will eventually kill you
You know why ?
" It has been touched! "
The bran, color, everything of the original wheat is medicine
I use in curing diabetes, heart diseases, fatty liver, hemorrhoids, ulcerative colitis too

But humans equally wiped off everything God embedded in wheat and brought out some chaff most people now patronise cos it appears finer
Humans never realised every food God created was for our wellbeing
If they had known, they wouldn't have touched them

Coming down to immunity now
Even your fruits especially the citruses were mimicked
If they aren't preserved, chemically processed else refined

What can you say about a combination of fruit juices staying for 7 years ?���
How possible is that base on the high perishability of fruits?
But that's what we have now
Fruits, did God create to do so many things, but humans, for convenience sake, squeeze out their juices and preserve with chemicals
And that's what billions across the planet patronise

Citruses I use on cancer
Cos these class of foods repair decaying and degenerating tissues/cells
They help strengthen the immunity of these persons so their declining system heals
I realised the functions God gave oranges, lemons, limes, grapes, et al
Don't forget, same cancer the million naira chemotherapy can not cure but instead aggravate issues
Radiotherapy constitutes rays, rays were created by God, yes! but never did he at any point instruct humans to run them through their body system
If you go against nature, nature will always fight you!

Everything in existence got its God -ordained purpose
The fact humans claim to know too much is why we are here
Only natural foods and the right lifestyle can keep you sound
Not medical check up cos God didn't create any chemical for the human body
" swallow this panadol in case you got headache " NEVER !

The immunity of humans started crumbling the day they imbibed the wrong lifestyle
Everything you ingest outside the original thing created by God for the body, be just ready ?
Expect just anything
The human's sound immunity was rendered handicap hence made him/her vulnerable to just any ailment
Such person with a weak immunity takes in and the fetus takes part of the weak immunity and also grows with it
It continues like that until there are mixture of weak and strong immune humans
Not because God grouped our blood or restricted our love life

This lifestyle began introducing strange ailments into the world and instead of humans realising their mistakes and returning back on track, they develop the worst of all lifestyles as remedy ( orthodox medicine )

Pharmacists will know orange can cure indigestion, instead of asking their patients to drink orange that got the original fibre and anti oxidants, they simply extract some components of same orange and chemicalise it cos thats the only way to make their own money
And when you ingest this chemical cos you think it's saving you, you end up with a worse ailment overtime

The medical world, the initiators of orthodox medicine know all am saying is true but cannever agree cos they must eat!

They will never tell you the origin of what they term sickle cell anemia is immunity issues from the wrong lifestyle
They will instead confine your imaginations to your choice of a partner
They will never give you a clue on its curability
You will keep being exposed to every ailment in existence
Keep giving you another human's blood when your blood would never have run short if everything was as planned
Same blood can be boosted by foods
These patients yet are always on blood transfusion

So I wrote my article on " no genotype " not because if two weak immunity patients produce an offspring, he/she can't be equally weak immune but cos choice of a partner is not the foundation of this ailment

Everything has a root!
Every ailment in existence today started somewhere and with someone!
Preaching genotype is only deceit and keeps shattering these people's hope
Tell them the truth!
Tell them its their immunity cos limiting their knowledge to " its genotype " wouldn't solve anything
It all started from when humans breached God's design for living
Reason the proofs are on my fb page, website for all to Use and see for themselves

I don't give any human foods
You only follow your diet plans and see things for yourself, shikena!

And do you know ma " there are people who are said to be AA but equally fall sick often ? "
This showed me, just anybody can suffer these symptoms as far as your immunity is breached not cos you belong to a particular group

Then lastly " virus "
No virus causing HIV/Hepatitis!
This theory was passed to sell their drugs
If you see anybody vulnerable to ailment, its just weak immunity caused by the wrong lifestyle, no two ways!
Whether you became weak immune cos you merged blood with a weak immunity patient, or your choice of foods, or even medications broke down your immunity, all are lifestyle issues!
HIV/AIDs wasn't there from the onset
Still what have been explaining
If it were virus, obviously humans in the past would have suffered same cos virus is a living organism
The last time I checked, God isn't creating anything new
Except you want to say the HIV/hepatitis virus just came into being

Kindly note please " the moment your blood merges with anybody, anything flows " ( SEX )
If at the point you slept with Kayode he had staph, you might start suffering same
Why ?
You shared a part of him
Body fluids, blood et al
Not cos some imaginary virus were transferred
If Kayode got herpes, you must suffer same
If he's always feverish, expect to start experiencing that cos you have a part of him

And for the notice ma: " there's no ailment in existence that's incurable "

Medicine has failed to cure virtually every ailment cos it aims to remedy a problem with its source
Rays are sources of cancer, but they aim to remedy same cancer with rays in radiotherapy

" So tell me, how does this work ? "

If HIV is viral, it should have been affecting people from time immemorial

The fact it recently sprouted, is a sign " a switch in lifestyle is behind it "

My honor please

Let the hospital know that you will be taking legal action against them. Someone must have missed or confused your wife's sample with another. They are trying to cover up

Spectaclesawe25:
I advice you go for a *CONFIRMATORY TEST* except it has been done and you don't really know.
The confirmatory test readily available to confirm genotype is *Hemoglobin quantification by HPLC* technique which you can get to do easily at the Sickle cell foundation building opposite LUTH Idi araba.
If both of you are AS from the result ,you will know and then seek expert opinion.
They(SCF) also provide services like In utero diagnosis of SCD which is the feared complication for your unborn child...The option however will be to do a TOP for a SCD fetus.

@Op, follow this piece of advice. Hemoglobin genotyping by electrophoresis can be very tricky, so if u're in Lagos, follow this fella's advice.

Thanks Nairalanders.

Don't worry about her in this conflict result

If you are AA you have covered her own blood for your children

You have done enough test and wasted enough money

After she puts to bed, run a test on the child

Meanwhile enjoy your marriage and relax yourself

Most of this lab attendant are not thoroughly bread

Terminate all ur relationship with such hospitals.. Na dem dey cos suicide for some intending couples...
U shd threatened to sue dem for emotional distress and incompetence

Better go and register your wife in another hospital before they give you someone else's child upon delivery.

By the time you suck all her blood finish for labs, you will finally agree if she is AA or AS, musu

When she went for tests in these other clinics, did you accompany her or she went alone?

Invisible123:


I thought about it but I will rather dwell on a solution than bug her with such issues. She is in so much emotional stress, she's pregnant and I don't want anything that will make the situation worse.

I will confront her when the time is right and I will rather not waste my time on what is done.

That is very mature bro. You're right, this is not the time for such talks. Trust would naturally increase over time anyways. You have the rests of youre lives to keep developing the trust.

There's no need to worry about genotype thingy either. She's AA.

You're under a lot of pressure. There's the usual cold feet, the annoying stress of planning a wedding, and the sense of responsibility for two vulnerable human beings at thesame time: compounded by genotype uncertainties manafactured by incompetent scientists.woops! You'll be fine. The only way out is through.

Afamed:
If you can locate Union Diagnostic in Lagos, I will advise you to make the final confirmation. Just to be double sure.

Bros, the guy don do like six tests already, which one be ‘final confirmation’?

Na the 7th test be final final, abi you sure say him no suppose do number 8th test to confirm the number 7 and number 9 to confirm number 8?

Where e go end, I beg make the guy go, nothing worry him wife, save that money for test for baby diapers instead or miliky for the baby.

Ohemababy:
Oga you dont have a problem please. Next.....

Whenever you have confusion, it's better to be double sure to forestall future avoidable regrets. You need to change that hospital

If it were me, I will subscribe to the notion that majority carries the vote.

Calling them a reputable hospital doesn't mean they are above mistakes. The hospital might be standard, the issue lies with the Bonzo that did the test.

If you believe God, nothing is impossible. Bless

My brother, your fiance is AA, I have gone for a test in a clinic in the East of Nigeria I was told I have a STI, as I dey Yankee I don run two complete test. Everything came out as normal.

Yes it is possible, I had same experience before now, have been AA all my life n went to one local hospital one time and imagine my shock to see I'm AS n only this hospital was I identified as AS. It could be confusing but 6 other hospitals can't be wrong.

Guy u don't need to carry more test The hospital made a mistake and fishy not to admit it. A different blood sample would have been tested for your fiancee. This is occasionally the case sometimes with these lab attendants .I work in Federal medical centre so I know Relax

Wow. I can imagine the torture you both are under. Particularly feel for your wife who is pregnant. Go to another reputable hospital, one that has clinical hematologist manning their Hematology lab. Let them know your history and get that blood checked again.

If it turn out to be AA, thank God and if you are that inclined, sue the reputable hospital who has put you and your wife in dire mental state for incompetence.
