    Mine is AB negative

    The two main blood groups are ABO and Rh. The ABO blood system has four main types: Type A: This blood type has a marker known as A. Type B: This blood type has a marker known as B.
    ...
    So, there are eight possible blood types:
    • O negative. ...
    • O positive. ...
    • A negative. ...
    • A positive. ...
    • B negative. ...
    • B positive. ...
    • AB negative. ...
    • AB positive.

    That would be nice to have Von, I only know mine because it's on my dog tags from when I joined the Air Force in 1960.

    I used to know that answer, but I don't remember. I think it is either B negative of B positive.

    I have a card in my wallet that has my blood type on it. I got it when I was expecting my first baby nearly 40 years ago and have carried it ever since.

    I had to get my Red Cross blood donation card out to see what mine is. B positive. There is one that is a universal blood donor. Is it B positive?

    From Wikipedia: In transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors. Those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called universal recipients.

    Thanks for admitting it. I was going to skip the whole thread because I thought I would be the only one who didn't know. :D

    I used to give blood until they told me to stop because I had to much iron in it. I never was given a donor card and none of my medical records on-line give it. even with all the ops I've had.
