Your RH factor is what determines if your blood type is positive or negative. This factor helps determine who can safely recieve your blood from a transfusion, or what blood types you can safely recieve. northernohio.redcross.org has information on what bloodtypes can safely be mixed from transfusions and other data in their information section.

How can doctors determine positive or negative blood types.?

Doctors determine positive or negative blood types by testing for the presence or absence of a specific protein called the Rh factor on the surface of red blood cells. A positive blood type indicates the presence of this protein, while a negative blood type indicates its absence. This information is important for blood transfusions and pregnancy monitoring.


Can a person that has o positive blood and a person with a positive blood make a child that has a negative blood?

Yes, it is possible for a child to have a negative blood type if both parents are carriers of the Rh negative gene, even if one parent is O positive and the other is A positive. Blood type inheritance is determined by a combination of both parents' blood types and Rh factors.


What are the different blood types, and how does having a positive blood type impact blood donation and transfusion compatibility?

There are four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O. Each blood type can be either positive or negative, based on the presence of a protein called Rh factor. Having a positive blood type means that the Rh factor protein is present in the blood. When it comes to blood donation and transfusion compatibility, individuals with positive blood types can receive blood from donors with either positive or negative blood types. However, individuals with negative blood types can only receive blood from donors with negative blood types. This is because receiving blood with a different Rh factor can lead to a negative immune response in the recipient's body.


What are four types of blood types?

The four main blood types are A, B, AB, and O. Each blood type is determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Additionally, blood types are classified based on the presence of the Rh factor, resulting in positive or negative blood types.


What is the difference between negative and positive blood type A?

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.

Persons with blood types that are RH positive can be given transfusions of either the positive OR negative subtype, but persons with RH negative blood types can only receive transfusions from other RH negative blood types.
