If you have type A plus blood who can you donate blood to?
Type A blood can be given to patients with type A or AB blood. Type B blood can be given to patients with type B or AB blood Type AB blood can only be given to patients with type AB blood. Type O blood can be given to patients with any blood type. The plus means the Rhetus group of the blood, which isn't as important as the blood type (A, B, AB or O), meaning there usually aren't complications even if blood of the wrong Rhetus group is given to a patient. In modern medicine, however, patients are nearly always given the blood of their own blood type, if possible.
