No. Blood type is determined by a couple of things. The first are the antigens present on the red blood cells. This is where you get A, B, and AB blood types. If you lack either A or B antigens, you have an O blood type. The +/- refers only to the Rhesus factor D, or RhD. It does not refer to other rhesus factors that are not considered in blood type. With this factor, you either have it on your blood cells (+) or you do not (-). It is impossible to have a positive blood type and not have rhesus factor D because that would be a complete contradiction to the naming system.

Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?
A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component. PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma
What blood group is given to someone who is RH negative blood group A?
You would give them A Rh Negative blood or you could also give them O Rh Negative as well. Group O is the universal donor so it can be given to anyone. If the patient is Rh Negative, they can only receive Rh Negative blood. If the patient was Rh positive, they can receive Rh positive or Rh negative.
Is it possible for a patient with O- receive O plus blood type?
Yes, it is possible to give O Positive blood to O Negative patients, but it is not likely to happen. Blood Bankers are trained to "match" blood to the person receiving the blood and these two types, while compatible, are not a good "match". The presence of the Rh factor in O Positive blood is likely to cause an immune response when given to a patient that does not have the Rh factor as in Rh Negative blood. The opposite is acceptable. It is perfectly OK to give Rh Negative blood to and Rh Positive person since they will not be getting something they do not already posses.
Can a person with o neg blood give blood to a rh neg person?
The negative in "O Negative" means that it's Rh negative, meaning that anyone, either positive or negative can receive that Rh type. O negative blood can be given to anyone. It's the Universal Donor.
Why does a transfusion reaction not occur the first time a rh positive patient is exposed to rh negative blood?
the transfusion reaction doesn't occur the first time an Rh+ patient is exposed to Rh- blood because the Rh+ patients body hasn't created the antibodies needed to attack the Rh- blood that it comes in contact with. the second time the Rh+ patients body comes in contact with Rh- blood, it will have the antibodies necessary to fight against Rh- blood.
Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?
A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component. PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma

You would give them A Rh Negative blood or you could also give them O Rh Negative as well. Group O is the universal donor so it can be given to anyone. If the patient is Rh Negative, they can only receive Rh Negative blood. If the patient was Rh positive, they can receive Rh positive or Rh negative.
What type of blood types can receive O?
It depends on what blood component is to be transfused. If O, Rh negative whole blood is to be given, the patient may be O, Rh negative or O, Rh positive. If O, Rh negative red cells are to be transfused, the patient may be any blood type (generally).
What types of blood can a person with Type A receive?
Consideration must be given to whether or not the person is Rh positive or Rh negative. A person with blood type A positivecan receive A positive, A negative, O positiveand O negative blood. A person with A negative blood can only receive A negative and O negative blood.
Is it possible to have blood type ABO?
It depends what you define as "Blood". Type AB, Rh positive recipients may receive whole blood (rarely used in modern transfusion medicine) from AB, Rh positive or negative donors. They may also (generally) receive red cell transfusions from any ABO and Rh blood type. They may receive platelets from any ABO, Rh donor type, but may require removal of residual incompatible plasma from the platelet product prior to infusion. An AB patient may only receive AB plasma. AB negative recipients may receive whole blood from an AB, Rh negative donor, red cells from any ABO, Rh negative donor, platelets from any ABO, Rh negative donor (with possible plasma reduction), and only AB plasma. Concerning the transfusion of Rh positive cellular components to Rh negative recipients; ABO compatible, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to Rh negative patients IF there are no compatible, Rh negative products available, transfusion cannot wait for units to be imported, anti-D antibodies are not present in the patient's plasma and the patient is a male, or a female of non-child bearing age.
Why cant a woman that is rh negative donate blood?
This not entirely true while an Rh- person can not receive Rh+ blood due to the fact as stated above an Rh+ person can receive Rh- blood because there is no Rh in the blood. This is why O- people are universal donors meaning they are able to give blood to anyone, but can only receive 0- blood.
Is it possible for a patient with O- receive O plus blood type?
Yes, it is possible to give O Positive blood to O Negative patients, but it is not likely to happen. Blood Bankers are trained to "match" blood to the person receiving the blood and these two types, while compatible, are not a good "match". The presence of the Rh factor in O Positive blood is likely to cause an immune response when given to a patient that does not have the Rh factor as in Rh Negative blood. The opposite is acceptable. It is perfectly OK to give Rh Negative blood to and Rh Positive person since they will not be getting something they do not already posses.
What is an rh negative blood type?
A true rh negative blood type can receive blood for the universal donor known as type O. There would be no negative consequences of such sharing happening.
Can a Rh negative person can safely receive any type of blood?
Only O negative.
Can a person with o neg blood give blood to a rh neg person?
The negative in "O Negative" means that it's Rh negative, meaning that anyone, either positive or negative can receive that Rh type. O negative blood can be given to anyone. It's the Universal Donor.
What does Rh stands for?
Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-. People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-. People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen) If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.
Why does a transfusion reaction not occur the first time a rh positive patient is exposed to rh negative blood?
the transfusion reaction doesn't occur the first time an Rh+ patient is exposed to Rh- blood because the Rh+ patients body hasn't created the antibodies needed to attack the Rh- blood that it comes in contact with. the second time the Rh+ patients body comes in contact with Rh- blood, it will have the antibodies necessary to fight against Rh- blood.
