I assume you meant to ask "O- or O+", but it wouldn't allow the punctuation. O- (O-negative) is the universal donor.

If I have type O blood would I be a universal Donor, or recipient?

What blood types can O negative donate to?

ABO stands for 4 most common blood antigens called A, B, AB and O. The person with Type A has antigen A, type B has antigen B and type AB has both A and B antigens. Type O has no A or B antigen. Antibodies against these two antigens are found thus type A has anti B, type B has anti A, type O has anti A & anti B. Type AB has no antibodies. They can receive blood from any type. Rh neg can go to Rh +/- Rh pos can only go to Rh+ Type O neg blood is called the universal donor can be given to A, B, AB, O with Rh+ or Rh- Type O pos blood can only go to O, A, B & AB pos Type O blood can receive donation only from type O. The 'universal donor' applies only to packed RBC's and not to whole blood products due to the anti bodies A and B found in serum. Type A, B, or AB given type O whole blood would produce a hemolytic transfusion reaction due to the antibodies found in the serum. Type A blood can receive blood from donors of type A and type O blood. Type B blood can receive blood from donors of type B and type O blood. Type AB blood can receive blood from donors of type A, type B, type AB, or type O blood.
