A member asked:
Is hemophilia a terminal disease?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
NO: The HIV epidemic affected many hemophiliacs but those that survived through that time and those diagnosed after the HIV epidemic was fully realized have an opportunity to have their disease effectively managed.
