Up to 50% of people with Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI& #39;s) don& #39;t know they& #39;re infected.
So, first check if your partner has lifelong STI& #39;s like HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Herpes.
Then, check for the curable STI& #39;s like gonorrhoea, syphilis, yeast infections & Chlamydia

Your next concern should be knowing your intending spouse& #39;s #genotype & #rhesus compatibility.
For genotype, read my previous thread below carefully (& ask questions if you ain& #39;t clear). https://twitter.com/DrAtangwho/status/1273905716798066689?s=19">https://twitter.com/DrAtangwh...

For #rhesus, you can either be Rhesus positive or negative.
If a Rhesus NEGATIVE lady marries a Rhesus POSITIVE man, there& #39;s 50% chance their baby will be rhesus positive.
If care is not taken during pregnancy & childbirth, this could cause Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn.

Next, fertility tests are crucial coz most couples would like to have kids.
You should do at least these 3 common tests to check fertility;
- seminal fluid analysis
- hormonal assay &
- pelvic ultrasound scans
The scans will check the state of the internal reproductive organs.

Also, check if your prospective spouse has any of the following chronic medical conditions;
- diabetes
- high blood pressure
- kidney disease
- liver disease
Knowing this will enable you seek medical assistance early enough & also make the needed lifestyle adjustments.

We can& #39;t conclude without mentioning the novel coronavirus.
Strictly speaking, COVID-19 is not a sexually transmitted infection.
But it can be passed on through kissing & close body contact, including having sex. https://www.avert.org/coronavirus/covid19-sex">https://www.avert.org/coronavir...
