Do the Five

In order to prevent bleeds and reduce bleeding complications associated with Hemophilia, the National Hemophilia Foundation began the following program called Do the Five.

  1. Get an annual comprehensive checkup at a hemophilia treatment center.
  2. Get vaccinated - Hepatitis A and B are preventable.
  3. Treat bleeds early and adequately.
  4. Exercise and maintain a healthy weight to protect your joints.
  5. Get tested regularly for blood-borne infections.
