While FDA guidelines do allow compensation for donation of blood components intended for transfusion, there are currently no blood centers in the U.S. that pay donors. Since any blood products collected from such donors must be labeled as "Paid Donor", hospital transfusion services are reluctant to accept these units. Aside from a few small hospital-based collection centers, there has not been payment for blood donations since the early 1970's.

You may, however, become a compensated source plasma donor. Plasma is collected by apheresis technology at local plasma centers. The FDA requires source plasma donors to have a permanent address within a specified distance from the collection site. Search your local yellow pages for "plasma" or "blood" for the nearest plasma center.

Rh negative blood is rare in the human population because it is a genetic trait that is not as common as Rh positive blood.

Is there blood banks in my area with rh blood?

Rh blood is the most complex genetically of all blood types. It is known that a mother who is pregnant and has Rh- and the father has Rh+, it can cause birth defects in the child. If you are recieving a blood transfusion though this does not apply. You can either recieve Rh- or Rh+. All blood types negative or positive all have Rh blood types in them. The problem you may be experiencing which may take you awhile to recieve blood is that you may have Rh- negative blood which means that you cannot recieve Rh-negative or Rh+negative, and you can only recieve Rh- negative, but yes all blood banks will carry Rh blood, this type of blood though may be more common in different types of people though.

This not entirely true while an Rh- person can not receive Rh+ blood due to the fact as stated above an Rh+ person can receive Rh- blood because there is no Rh in the blood. This is why O- people are universal donors meaning they are able to give blood to anyone, but can only receive 0- blood.
