Active Living

Young adults make many important choices about their education, lifestyle, career path, and relationships. They also take control of their health and of managing bleeds once away from home. This includes managing visits to the hemophilia treatment centre (HTC) and documenting overall health and Factor use. With the right knowledge and support, the transition to adult independence can be rewarding and empowering.

Later in adulthood, hemophilia knowledge and care is included in building a relationship with a life partner, and making family planning choices.

Here you will find information to guide the care of adults living with hemophilia.

Remember: this information only provides recommendations – you should always follow the guidance on your hemophilia treatment.
