what i already knew, that when i went to hospital and i had the blood testing, when i got the result it was written my blood type with the Rh, all together.
so i think when you do the test you will know both.

Why is testing for Rh antigens and antibodies different from ABO testing?
abo blood group system was discovered in 1901 and rh was discovered in 1940.
What is the difference between rh incompatibility and abo incompatibility if any?
between ABO and Rh incompatibility
Can o positive and a positive parents have o negative children?
Never. Although, genes for ABO and Rh blood groups are present on the surface of RBCs but ABO and Rh blood group systems are different. Rh positive is always dominant to Rh negative gene irrespective of ABO blood groups. Hence, Rh positive blood group always express itself.
What was the procedure employed in Serological Testing?
Following ABO comparison, science discovered other proteins in the blood that are more group-specific than the ABO antigens themselves. Known as Rh, Kell and Duffy blood groups, these proteins give scientists the ability to exclude potential fathers at a slightly higher accuracy rate of about 40%. As with ABO testing, serological testing cannot identify the father with certainty but it can exclude those that do not possess the correct blood groups.
What is the probability of an AB and Rh- blood type combination?
ABO
What has the author A Nickle written?
A. Nickle has written: 'ABO and Rh blood groups'
What do NISHOT include?
NISHOT statistics include mistransfusion and ABO/Rh-incompatibility.
Is it possible to have blood type ABO?
It depends what you define as "Blood". Type AB, Rh positive recipients may receive whole blood (rarely used in modern transfusion medicine) from AB, Rh positive or negative donors. They may also (generally) receive red cell transfusions from any ABO and Rh blood type. They may receive platelets from any ABO, Rh donor type, but may require removal of residual incompatible plasma from the platelet product prior to infusion. An AB patient may only receive AB plasma. AB negative recipients may receive whole blood from an AB, Rh negative donor, red cells from any ABO, Rh negative donor, platelets from any ABO, Rh negative donor (with possible plasma reduction), and only AB plasma. Concerning the transfusion of Rh positive cellular components to Rh negative recipients; ABO compatible, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to Rh negative patients IF there are no compatible, Rh negative products available, transfusion cannot wait for units to be imported, anti-D antibodies are not present in the patient's plasma and the patient is a male, or a female of non-child bearing age.
Desribe how to type blood to detect the abo and rh blood groups?
To type blood according to abo, the lab detects the proteins of the cells to determine whether blood is a b or o. To further type blood into rh- and rh positive, the lab checks antibodies to specific proteins.
What are the two major blood groups used to identify blood type?
ABO and Rh
What color is the tube that blood is drawn for a ABO and Rh factor test?
red top
Is it likely for two siblings to have the same type of blood but not the same father?
It is not unlikely. They will both have the same mother and the overall number of different blood groups based on ABO and Rh positive/negative is limited.
