Why is it unlikely that natural selection will quickly reduce the frequency of hemophilia?

It is unlikely because hemophilia is an autosomal recessive trait. This means that a heterozygous individual could carry the allele without being affected, reducing the ability of natural selection to eliminate the allele.
