I.e. if someone is blood type A negative, then A negative is the preferred blood type to be given. However, there are also other blood types that are acceptable, depending on the recipient's blood type. And O- is acceptable for ALL blood types. That is why it is in such high demand in blood donations... because it can be accepted by anyone.
