You got that wrong mate, Rh neg can infact receive from Rh neg.

Rh neg has got antibodies against Rh D. Since the erytrocytes of the donor hasnt got the rhesus D on its cells, there is no problem.

If the Rh negative gets blood from a Rh positive however, the antibodies react with the D antigen on the cells from the donor and a dangerous reaction occurs.

Can an individual with O blood group donates his blood to an A blood group person?

A person with Type O can donate to any other blood type, but can only receive blood from another Type O person. A person having blood group O (with absence of Rh-factor) only can donate his blood to any other individual. Rh or Antigen-D is a factor which decides the positivity or negativity of the blood, so the blood group O-negative is considered the universal donor, as it does not effect any of other blood groups.
