RH negative is not very rare, and it is a blood grouping system not a type. Whether your blood is Rh or not depends on the D-antigen in your blood. Rh is the second most important blood grouping system after ABO.

∙ 14y ago"RH-" is not a blood type. It describes a characteristic of the blood (whether or not there is a specific additional protein on the exterior of your blood cells). However, the only blood TYPES are A, B, AB, and O.
As for the rarity of RH- blood, it is uncommon, but not impossible. It depends mainly on your race/ethnicity. For example, among caucasian populations, there is about a 15% chance of being RH-. That's roughly the same as your chance of being left-handed. In Asian populations, however, the chance of being RH- is much lower, around only 2%. This chance is evening out as more people have mixed-race babies. The differences between racial groups are due to people being more likely to marry someone of their own race.
