A person with O- (O negative) blood is considered a universal donor. That means that every blood type that exists can receive blood from a person with O- blood. (A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+, O-)
A person with O+ (O positive) blood, on the other hand, can donate to any type as long as it is positive. ( A+, B+, O+ or AB+)

Does donor blood type matter in stem cell transplant?
Yes it is possible. The blood cells are produced in the bone marrow so it is only natural, after a bone marrow transplant, for the donated marrow to manufacture blood of the donor's type.
Is B positive a match with A positive for a kidney transplant?
No. Negative blood types must receive negative blood. AB- can receive AB-, A-, B-, or O- blood.Special blood types are AB+ (universal recipient) which can receive any blood type but only give to AB+, and O- (universal donor) which can give to any blood type but must receive only O- blood.
Can blood type B positive live kidney donor give to an O blood type patient?
Type O-negative blood does not have any antigens. It is called the "universal donor" type because it is compatible with any blood type. Type AB-positive blood is called the "universal recipient" type because a person who has it can receive blood of any type. Although "universal donor" and "universal recipient" types may be used to classify blood in an emergency, blood type tests are always done to prevent transfusion reactions.
Is it possible that your blood type change like from O to type A?
Everything I have been able to gather says no. That only with either a liver or bone marrow transplant is it possible. It happened with a liver transplant from O negative to O positive and they made a big deal out of it because usually the host rejects the transplant, and in this case it seemed to say the donor blood took over the host body, due to low white blood count. But even then it wasn't A to B. Only negative to positive. Seems to be more common in bone marrow. Wikipedia comments to this effect in articles on blood type.
