A person born with hemophilia will have it for life. The level of factor VIII or IX in his blood usually stays the same throughout his life.

There is no cure for hemophilia yet but gene therapy remains an exciting possibility and holds out the prospect of a partial or complete cure for hemophilia. There are many technical obstacles to overcome, but it is encouraging to see the research efforts currently underway.

The life expectancy of someone with hemophilia varies depending on whether they receive proper treatment. Without adequate treatment, many people with hemophilia die before they reach adulthood. However, with proper treatment, life expectancy for people with hemophilia is about 10 years less than that of males without hemophilia, and children can look forward to a normal life expectancy.

While cure is on the way, help keep us alive...
