I am getting married in 6 months, I know we have to get a blood test, but what exactly will we be getting tested for??
I understand having a blood test when planning a to get pregnant but before marriage?
Rh factor. If the woman is negative and the man positive it can present some serious problems. Of course, there are many other things which can be found with a blood test like communicable diseases.
Many moons ago, while in the service, I was stationed in New Mexico. I was getting married and had my blood test done at the base hospital. I asked the lab tech who drew my blood what they were testing for. He told me the test was for syphlis.
What they’re testing for varies from state to state, but it includes several diseases and other conditions. It appears that many states have eliminated the requirement for a blood test entirely.
