This depends upon the percentage of Hgb S after tests have been administered. The testing needed is: Hemoglobin Electrophoresis. I would highly recommend that you go to your primary care manager (doctor) to get this test administered before showing up to basic. It has been proven that after testing so many applicants mistakes are made resulting in a discharge. Take the necessary precautions and get this testing done before to show that your percentages aren't going to change.

No, sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait are not the same. Sickle cell anemia is a severe form of the disease caused by inheriting two sickle cell genes (one from each parent), leading to significant health complications. In contrast, sickle cell trait occurs when an individual inherits only one sickle cell gene and one normal gene, typically resulting in no symptoms but allowing the person to pass the trait to their offspring.
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
No, sickle cell trait is a genetic condition that is inherited from one's parents and is not spread through kissing or any other form of casual contact. It is important to understand the genetic basis of sickle cell trait and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
