The classic blood typing into groups A, B, AB or O is only one way to divide up the population. Also whether you are rhesus negative or positive can play a big part. If you are type O but rhesus positive, your blood cannot be given to someone type O but rhesus negative or their immune system will react to the rhesus part of the donated blood.

What is universal donor and recipient?

Blood group O is known as the "universal donor" because it has no antigens on its red blood cells and can therefore be safely given to any blood group. Blood Group AB is known as the "universal recipient" because it has no antibodies in its plasma and so can safely receive blood from any other blood group.


is A positive blood a universal donor type?

O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
