A person with type O blood can only accept type O in a transfusion, but any blood type can accept type O in a transfusion. They are universal donors.

this is because they don't have A or B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells but they have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies.

Blood contains many substances. There are antigens, A, or B, or the absence of either which is called O. There is also the Rh factor, which is reported as positive if you have it or negative if you do not. So O means you do not have either A or B antigens and positive means the Rh factor is present in your blood.
