First off test your blood with antibody's against A and B.

The lab rats do this by making a solution of your blood and mixing this in several tubes with the antibody's. In your case both A and B will become clotted, because the antibody's against A react with your A antigens, and the antibody's against B react with your B antigens on the red bloodcells.

But, if you really have A2, the reaction between the Anti-A and A will be slightly less powerfull. To determine whether you have A2, the blood solution is mixed with antibodies against A1. If this doens't become react and become clotted, you don't have A1, thus you have A2 (there are other possibilities but the lab always gives it the name A2). And there you go, now the lab rats know you have the A2B bloodtype.
