A. A very practical question.
There are two things to consider when talking about which blood can be given to which person. The first is the type of blood (A, B, AB or O) and the second is the RH status (positive or negative). Before we go into the nitty-gritty of it all, let me answer your question simply.
| Giving and Receiving Blood | ||
