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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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).
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Rh negative individuals can donate to both Rh positive and Rh negative individuals because the Rh factor is not present in their blood. However, Rh negative individuals cannot receive blood from Rh negative donors because their immune system recognizes the Rh factor as foreign and may produce antibodies against it, leading to a potentially dangerous immune response upon receiving Rh positive blood. This is known as hemolytic disease of the newborn or transfusion reaction.
Only O negative.
