To my knowledge, mixing tests are used with some types of acquired hemophilia to determine the source of the hemophilia. In the test, I believe they mix two separate samples of plasma together. One sample being from the affected individual who has acquired hemophilia, one from a normal source without the acquired hemophilia.
If the ability of the blood to coagulate is decreased, this would indicate that the source of the acquired hemophilia was in the blood itself (some anticoagulant).
If the blood, once mixed retained normal clotting, this would indicate a problem with the actual production of the needed clot forming components.
It is possible to diagnose Hemophilia in the fetus during pregnancy by demonstrating the abnormal gene.
Hemophilia is diagnosed through a series of blood test. Currently most places do not automatically test an individual for hemophilia, meaning that the doctor must have a reason to suspect hemophilia in order to run the tests. The most common reasons a doctor would suspect hemophilia is if hemophilia was known to run in the individual's family, or if the individual seems to have an abnormally long clotting time. The clotting issue often presents itself at circumcision leading to most cases being diagnosed very early on.
Hemophilia is one disease in which blood does not clot normally. von Willebrand's Disease

There are no hard answers to this, it depends strictly on luck. The statistics are though not very good for their children. Statisically the couple have a chance of having a normal son, a daughter that is a carrier for hemophilia, a daughter with hemophilia and a son with hemophia.
50 million ppl have hemophilia
No, Hemophilia is a genetic disease. A person is born with it.
