Not so. AS, not SS, are known to be the most malaria resistant genotype.

Not so. I know a few married folks both male and female. And 90-97% of them have kids. Some are even on this forum.
Apart from priapism, which can be managed, sickle cell doesn't have any major effects on fertility.

It does due to priapism and other forms of ED associated with the condition.
Not everyone is affected the same that’s certainly in the examples you have given but you don’t know everyone with SC so let’s put it in that context. Is this not a case of would I date some with SC or not? My reservations are stated above trying to argue the finer points is just a matter of semantics.

Get me right, I never stated that priapism doesn't affect some males living with the disease. Nevertheless, I stated that sickle cell doesn't have a major effect on fertility from the little I've read and the people I've come to know, one way or another.

Now, I believe that love makes us do things we otherwise wouldn't. And sickle cell, ED or whatever wouldn't stop you if you want to.

And I hope that you are aware of the simple fact that other diseases can affect male fertility?
Some got married while sexually fit and a few years later, their sexual life was on a rapid decline due to certain health challenges like diabetes.
So, then what? Would you divorce him?

Everyone deserves to be loved but damn it's hard! Imagine falling hard with someone that's a stickler and he/she passes away.

Or you are head over heels for the person but can't enter a union to procreate, for fear of children with similar issue.

I remember reading about a couple that had 6-7 sickler kids because the man didn't let the lady know his Genotype on time. now you'll sit and watch your kids suffer and in some cases, pass away

It's possible to date anyone with any medical condition, provided you use your head and follow what's right than letting your heart lead you two in agony

Ffs the post asks “Would you date?” Not if your husband develops a condition 5 years later.
My responses are in context to what was asked not about diabetes or renal failure. So let’s keep things in tang arena.
And no I don’t need internet lessons in Pathophysiology.

It is. The S gene is mutated and resistant to malaria. But the double S gene (SS) is weak and isn't resistant to malaria.

As the world sickle cell day approaches in three days time, I think about sickle cell and the impacts on various aspects of my life, especially my love life.

I haven't actually been in a relationship yet. And while I want to think that it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a sickler, I've noticed a certain trend in the guys I've come to like.

The initial promises, the show of affection, the hesitation, lies and sudden disappearance seems to be a vicious cycle.

So I want to ask, why is that so?
Would you date a sickler if you could?
Why wouldn't you want to date a sickler?

If I'm convinced you are for me, I will not just date you, I will marry you.

I have been face to face with people suffering from SS genotype and the miracle-working God turned it to AA confirmed by lab test

If you believe, it will happen! I'm waiting for your own testimony here.

Not discrediting your belief in miracles but this is not a religious post.

Thanks for the advice. But I never stated that I'm sad or dejected or pitying myself. I just used my personal experience to ask a question.
So, would you date a sickler if you could?

Yes I would if I like him..a lot of people die everyday from things as little as headache now so it really makes no difference to me if a person is a sickler or not..

It will be. Stop being ignorant. Everyday, you read of people dying on nairaland. How many of them are SS? How many SS people do you know that has died so far? Ignorance and insensitivity=lethal mix.

AA does fall sick too, mostly due to malaria attacks. It's kinda normal in some people.
