what is the blood test for before marry.


Answers:

Actually these people are all wrong. The blood test is not required in most states anymore expect for in the south. No lie- the reason is incesst. To make sure you are not marrying a close relative (this is illeagl) and was common in the south.


Now days (but still not reqired in most states) they do it also to disclose the presence of genetic disorders such as sickle-cell anemia or Tay-Sachs disease. You will not be tested for HIV, but in some states, the person who tests you will provide you with information about HIV and AIDS. In most states, blood tests can be waived for people over 50 and for other reasons, including pregnancy or sterility.

If either partner tests positive for a venereal disease, what happens depends on the state where you are marrying. Some states may refuse to issue you a marriage license. Other states may allow you to marry as long as you both know that the disease is present.
