Can this sickle cell disease be transmitted through intercourse with someone who has it?

Susan Butler: Can this sickle cell disease be transmitted through intercourse with someone who has it?
Ok, can this be transmitted through intercourse? I am just wondering, I know it is genetic but if someone has intercourse and does not know that have it, can it passed through semen, or any other bodily fluids?

No. It’s a genetic disease that you are born with.
However I would always recommend using protection to have intercourse as many other diseases can be sexually transmitted, and people don’t always know they have them.

No. But if you ever decide to have kids just know that you carry the gene for the disease.

Answer by Worried
No, sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder; not an STD. To decrease your chances of getting an STD, you can abstain, lessen the number of partners you have, or use a condom (which is not 100% reliable and doesn’t protect against such things as HPV, HPV is transmitted by skin cells on genital areas and 80% of women will contract it at some point in their lives).
