[NOTE:For all seeing Purpose: Pls Post your Blood Group,So thread ll b always on top]

Blood Group: AB

Blood Group: O +ve.

Also post the Rhesus factor: -ve or +ve.

B+. The most common.

B Positive! (The Most Positive

)

O +ve
Omnipresent!

O+. The Donor

In India around 5% people are Rh -ve. Rh -ve bloods group are rare and ideally you should donate.

The rarest blood group is AB -ve but an AB -ve person can receive blood from O -ve, AB -ve, A -ve and B -ve people.

O -ve is the universal donor but can only receive O -ve blood. AB +ve can receive blood from anyone but can't donate to blood anyone except AB +ve.

Rh +ve can receive Rh -ve blood. But vice versa is not true.

I think they have stopped using universal donar/universal recipient concept.

yup they did because we haven't discovered everything. But in case of emergency, compatible blood is still used sometimes.

actually blood donating is fun among my frn group

they go 4 blood donation as they can do vellapanti all day and even their college allows them a marked present and they get snacks , stuff etc ( that's more than enough 4 them with an added incentive of being a good human)
