What is RH typing?
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.

Can a person with o blood type receive anything but o type blood?
The O blood type is known as the universal donor, but there is one catch the Rh factor, people who are O - (people who don't have the Rh factor) can donate to anyone, but if the person if O+, then they can donate to anyone who is Rh +, so yes there could be a problem depending on the Rh factor.
What is the Rh blood type?
People with different blood types have proteins specific to that blood type on the surfaces of their red blood cells (RBCs). Rh factor "Rhesus factor" is type of antigens on the human blood cell. The presence of this antigen in human blood given (+) besides it's blood type. The absence of this antigen is given (-) besides blood type. For example A- or A+.
What are Rh antigens?
They are a type of antigen that some people carry on their red blood cells. They are called "rhesus" because they were initially identified and studied on the red blood cells of rhesus monkeys, then were later also found in humans. If a person has Rh+ blood type they have this antigen, if a person has Rh- blood type they do not. They are important in blood transfusions in that a person with Rh+ blood type can receive either Rh+ or Rh- blood with no problems, but a person with Rh- blood type can only receive Rh- blood (Rh+ blood could kill him when antibodies from his immune system attack the rhesus antigen, causing massive blood clotting). They are important in pregnancy in that a woman with Rh- blood type has a much higher chance of miscarriage if her baby has Rh+ blood type. Note: there are roughly 30 different classes of blood type antigens, not just the familiar A, B, and Rh antigens. Most however are very rare.
Is Rh o positive blood type rare?
The blood type known as rh defines a particular strain or tendency towards particular traits or abnormalties in newborn babies. To determine a rh blood type, a blood test specifying that rh be tested is required.
What are the different types of Rh blood types?
There are two types of Rh blood type, a Rh + and a Rh -ve, they are useful in surgery so blood type can be matched. Especially in pregnancy it is beneficial for mother and child to have the same Rh blood type.
Which blood type can give blood?
People with B blood type can only give blood to people with AB blood type providing that the Rh factor is the same between donator and receiver. (either both positive or both negative Rh)
Are B and Rh one blood type or two different blood types?
B and Rh are two different blood type systems. The B blood type refers to the presence of the B antigen on red blood cells, while the Rh factor (Rh positive or Rh negative) refers to the presence or absence of the Rh antigen. This means someone could have blood type B+ or B-, indicating their blood type in both systems.
What does blood type A positive mean?
Type A blood means that on the outer cell membrane there is an antigen that identifies the cell as being "Type A". If you have "positive" blood, this means you have tested positive for the Rh factor, and there is an antigen identifying the Rh factor on the outer cell membrane. If you are Rh negative, there is no antigen on the outer membrane. The ABO and Rh blood types are just 2 of the 32 blood-type components of the red blood cell.
Can you be O blood type and Rh negative"?
No, O blood type is always Rh positive.
How many people have A blood type?
less than 15% have negative blood type . or rh- or without the rhesus monkey gene . i wonder where the the people without the rh gene came from ?
