Is It Advisable For A Marriage If Suffering With Thalassemia?

Hi Sir

I'm a thalassaemia patient. Because of my repeated blood transfusiond i'm HepC +ve. But my HCV-RNA is -ve. I'm planning to get married. Will there be any chances that this infection will pass on to my wife if we plan to raise a family? Secondly they have some interferon therapy for HCV patients. can i go thru that considering that i'm HCV RNA-ve

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Marriage is advisable there is no harm in that. You should use barrier method to avoid spread of infection. But in thallasemia major patient life expectancy is a issue. So think on it and take decision accordingly.
