The NCAA requires all college athletes to complete a sickle cell test in order to compete. This test helps determine whether an athlete has sickle cell disease, a condition that can cause serious health risks during intense physical activity. While not contagious, the condition can affect an athlete’s ability to safely participate in sports, so it is important to receive testing prior to the season beginning.

At AFC Burlington, sickle cell testing is completed with a simple blood test and sent to a certified outside lab for analysis, with results typically ready in just a few days. Patients are welcome to walk into the clinic any day of the week between 8 AM and 8 PM for testing—no appointment required.
