It is simply your blood type. You receive blood alleles from your parents. One of them must have been type A or AB, and must have been type negative.
It also means you can donate blood to people type A+ or AB+.
You can only receive blood from people A+, A-, O+, or O-.

∙ 14y agoThere are 2 different things to look for in blood type. One is if the person in rh negative or positive and the other is if the person is A, B, AB, or O. So, being rh-negative has nothing to do with what blood type you have. They are two independent components.

∙ 10y agoIt is actually an antigen, and it is in addition to A, B, or O. If someone has O negative blood, it means they lack A, B, and Rh antigens. The positive or negative part refers to the Rh factor. There are other antigens too, and it is best to match them for best compatibility, but if you need blood very quickly, you generally cannot go wrong with receiving O negative, though O negative 4 star is even more universal.

∙ 12y agoJust as every individual has a blood type, everyone also has an Rh status. The Rh, or Rhesus, factor is a protein found on the surface of a red blood cell. The majority of the population has this protein and are considered Rh positive. If the protein is not found on the surface of the red blood cells, the individual is Rh negative.

∙ 12y agoNo, it shouldn't be complicated for the child in any way. Rh is just the factor that is positive or negative, which impacts what blood he can receive in that case.

What type of blood would you have if both your parents have RH blood type?
Rh is not a blood type by itself but is just one part of what makes up a blood type. There are two parts to blood typing: the ABO aspect and the Rh factor. One has blood type A, B, AB, or O, AND then is either Rh positive, or Rh negative. Hence why you hear blood types like A positive, O negative, etc. The positive/ negative is referring to the Rh factor. Rh positive is dominant, so one only needs one Rh positive parent so be Rh positive. Rh negative is recessive. If both parents are Rh negative, the child they have must be Rh negative as well. To know what blood type you could be, you need to know your parents' entire blood type.
