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.

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.
Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?
No, Rh negative patients should not receive Rh positive plasma as it can lead to an immune response and formation of antibodies that can cause hemolytic reactions in the future. It is important to match the Rh factor of the plasma with the Rh factor of the patient to avoid complications.
Is it possible for a patient with O- receive O plus blood type?
No, a patient with blood type O- cannot receive O+ blood. Blood type O+ contains the Rh antigen, which the individual with O- does not have. Therefore, receiving O+ blood could cause a severe immune reaction in the recipient.
What type of blood can a person with type B RH-negative receive?
A person with Type B Rh negative blood can receive B Rh negative red cells or O Rh negative red cells. If no Rh negative blood is available, this person could receive B or O Rh positive blood, but this would not be recommended for women of child bearing age as the exposure to the D antigen (D is the Rh positive part) may cause this person to form an antibody against the D (Rh) antigen (Anti-D). Anti-D may cross the placenta and attach to D positive cells in the fetus leading red cell destruction and other serious consequences.
Can a person with o neg blood give blood to a rh neg person?
Yes, a person with O negative blood can donate blood to a person with Rh negative blood. O negative is considered a universal blood type that can be given to individuals of any blood type, including Rh negative individuals.
