unfortunately Duffy is not one of the good antigens to have. Your husband needs to be tested to CP also carries the Duffy antigen. If he does not, and you're not going to have a problem, however if he does carry the death the antigen and there's a chance that your body can attack and embryo/fetus that may have been antigen as well. if he does have to the antigen and you will need to be followed by a high-risk obstetrician
