"Rhesus factor" refers only to the presence or absence of the RhD antigen, symbolised by negative (absence) or positive (presence). Because it is caused by genetics, it cannot be changed by any artificial means, although it may change naturally - there are several documented cases of people changing bloodtype.
Rhesus is a blood factor and a type of ape.
Rh factor is named after the Rhesus monkey which was the source of testing. It refers to the plus or minus after one's blood type which determines compatibility.
The Rhesus factor, also known as the Rh factor, is an antigen that exists on the surface of red blood cells. People who have the Rhesus factor are considered to have a positive blood type. Those who don't have the antigen are considered to have a negative blood type.
Short for rhesus monkey
AB positive; a person with rhesus-negative blood can have an adverse reaction if given rhesus-positive blood.
Rh factor is also called "Rhesus factor" because it was first discovered in the blood.
Rh factor is also called "Rhesus factor" because it was first discovered in the blood.

To the second question the answer, in short, is YES; To answer the first question, there are four logical blood types: A, B, AB, and O. Then there is the Rhesus factor: either positive or negative. So there are actually eight types of blood a human can have: one of the above types with a negative Rhesus factor or with a positive Rhesus factor. Rhesus factor is a factor which compares human blood to a Rhesus monkey's blood. A negative result means your blood is not comparable to a Rhesus monkey. Blood types are inherited from your parents. If one parent has type A+, and the other has a B-, your blood type can either come out as A, + or -, or B, + or -, or the rare AB, + or - but not O. While type O negative is the universal donor, type AB positive is a universal recipient.
Rh Factor
The universal recipient for blood would be AB+, including positive for the Rh (Rhesus) factor.
