The universal recipient for blood would be AB+, including positive for the Rh (Rhesus) factor.
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.

The universal recipient in blood transfusions is someone with type AB blood. This blood type has both A and B antigens on the red blood cells, making it compatible with receiving blood from donors with A, B, AB, or O blood types.
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.
Type AB POSITIVE is the universal red cell transfusion recipient. For plasma tranfusions, group O is the universal recipient.
Universal recipient
The rhesus monkey gave the Rh factor its name. The Rh factor is a protein found on the surface of red blood cells, originally discovered in rhesus monkeys before being identified in humans.
There is no blood group that is considered as universal recipient. Blood type O individuals are considered to be universal donors.
A B AB O
Rhesus monkey In fact, the scientific name of the monkey is "macacus rhesus"
The antigen was first discovered in the blood of Rhesus monkeys.
