By the way I am a RH- (B negative)

Answer 1

I went out with a girl who is rh negative and she was really upset about it. I found out later that my mother was. I think complications might arise but I turned out okay. See a bonafide website about it and you'll learn a lot.

Answer 2

yes. i am. im not sure why its so rare. i always get calls from the blood center to donate.

Answer 3

because rh- and rh+ people can take your blood. also AB- and AB+ people can too. also B- and B+, too.

Answer 4

I'm O-.  Your blood doesn't have the positive antibody....and RH- people has to receive RH- blood

O- negative is used in the ER for emergency transfusions.  Your blood type will be used for people that need it.  RH- is in demand everywhere.

BTW...someone posted about RH- & childbirth.  It does pose a problem if the baby is RH+ & the mother RH-.  My son was extremely jaundice and the Rhogam shot is necessary to ensure future pregnancies are not in jeapordy.

Answer 5

Answer 7

I am B+ and I just think it is one of the more common types of blood.   I donate blood just to know I am helping someone who needs blood I think everyone should.

Answer 8

1% Asians have it.

Answer 9

AB positive...why wouldn't you want to donate?  It is an unselfish gesture that could save someone's life...you have rare blood (in case you didn't know)...

Answer 10

I am a RH- (A negative). If you have Rh-positive blood, you can receive Rh-positive or Rh-negative red blood cell transfusions. But people with Rh-negative blood should only get Rh-negative red blood cells, except in emergencies.
