No, you cannot pass Antiphospholipid syndrome to a surrogate mother who is carrying your baby. You can pass it onto your unborn baby though.

Medicines can help prevent complications. The goals of treatment are to prevent blood clots.
SLE does not itself cause platelets to clump. However, a related comorbid disorder called Hughes disease aka antiphospholipid syndrome does cause "sticky blood".
No, but if the mother has a lupus clotting disorder (antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, anticardiolipin or lupus anticoagulant) clots can form that block the flow of blood to the fetus resulting in miscarriage.
Treatment for antiphospholipid syndrome typically involves blood thinners to prevent blood clot formation, such as aspirin or anticoagulants like warfarin or heparin. Corticosteroids may be used to reduce inflammation and immune system suppressants to control the immune response. In some cases, medications to regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels may be prescribed as well. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are important to manage the condition effectively.
they are all one
Some people with lupus also have problems with their blood clotting too quickly. These people have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, lupus anticoagulant or anticardiolipin. The condition is managed with blood thinner like coumadin or wafarin and must be carefully monitored. Without treatment, the patient is very likely to suffer cardiovascular events such a strokes, TIA's and heart attacks.
