A person who is B positive will have?
A person who is B positive will have B antigens on their red blood cells and anti-A antibodies in their plasma. This blood type is compatible for transfusion with B positive, B negative, O positive, and O negative blood types.
Someone whose blood contains antibodies to HIV is said to be?
HIV-positive. Being HIV-positive means that the individual has been exposed to the virus and their immune system has produced antibodies against it, which can be detected through blood testing. It does not necessarily mean they have developed symptoms of HIV or AIDS.
The one blood type that could be used without danger of antibodies clumping its red blood cells is?
AB positive blood type is considered the universal recipient because it does not have antibodies against A, B, or Rh antigens. This means that individuals with AB positive blood can receive red blood cells from donors of any ABO blood type without causing clumping.
A test used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient is the?
Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is commonly used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient. This test involves exposing the patient's serum to Rickettsia antigens and then using fluorescently labeled antibodies to detect any bound antibodies. Positive results indicate a past or current infection with Rickettsia bacteria.
Can O positive blood group be interpreted as AB positive blood group?
No, O positive and AB positive blood types are different. O positive is type O blood with the Rh factor, while AB positive is type AB blood with the Rh factor. Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which is not interchangeable between O and AB types.
What do antibodies to the aids virus indicate?
Antibodies to the AIDS virus indicates the person is HIV positive.
Are there antibodies present to a and b if ab positive?
No, AB positive patients have neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies. Thus, AB positive is known as the universal receiver of all blood types :).
Antibodies found in blood type A positive?
Individuals with blood type A positive have antibodies against blood type B antigens. This means their immune system reacts against blood from individuals with blood type B if they were to receive a transfusion containing type B blood.
A person who is B positive will have?
A person who is B positive will have B antigens on their red blood cells and anti-A antibodies in their plasma. This blood type is compatible for transfusion with B positive, B negative, O positive, and O negative blood types.
What is positive immunity?
If a person's immune system is producing antibodies against a specific antigen, then that person has a positive or active immunity toward that antigen. If a person has merely been injected with antibodies but does not produce them, that is a passive immunity.
What is antinuclear antibody direct positive a?
it is when a group of antibodies attack the nucleus of a cell.
What does testing positive for the antibodies in HIV mean?
If a person tests positive for the HIV antibody, it means that person has the HIV infection.
Can you have aids negative or positive?
Not exactly. "HIV positive" means that someone's test for HIV antibodies came back positive, i.e. that the antibodies are present and that the person has at least been exposed to, and is almost certainly infected with, the virus. AIDS, however, is a syndrome, or condition. There isn't a specific test for it, so the terms "positive" and "negative" have no real meaning. AIDS means that not only is the person infected, but the infection has progressed to the point that they are showing symptoms. You can be "HIV positive" (the test showed antibodies) or "HIV negative" (the test did not show antibodies), but not "AIDS positive" or "AIDS negative". Everyone with AIDS is (or should be, since HIV is the virus that causes AIDS) "HIV positive", but it's possible to be "HIV positive" for a considerable length of time before eventually developing AIDS.
What does positive in rubella igM mean?
That you have an acute Rubella infection and have developed IgM antibodies.
Can recent cuts on hands and or extreme stress and sleeplesness cause the body to produce antibodies in the blood that might mimic those of an HIV positive patient?
Sorry, but if you've got a positive result on the HIV antibodies test, that indicates HIV infection.

HIV-positive. Being HIV-positive means that the individual has been exposed to the virus and their immune system has produced antibodies against it, which can be detected through blood testing. It does not necessarily mean they have developed symptoms of HIV or AIDS.
Can a person with A negative and a person with A positive have a healthy baby?
It depends. If there mother is the A negative type, and it is found that the newborn baby is Rh positive, they will give the mother Rh immune globulin(Rhogam), in order to prevent her from developing anti-D antibodies. That is, if she does not already have anti-D antibodies. If the mother does have anti-D antibodies, it may cause complications if the baby is Rh positive. If rhogam is given, then there should be no complications. If the mother is A positive, then I don't believe there should be any complications.
