Not quite. The "Rh" factor is the "positive" or "negative" part, but there are two other major blood factors called "A" and "B". You may have one or the other, or both, or neither.
So a person who has all three blood factors, "A", "B", and "Rh" is an "AB Positive", while a person with none of the blood factors is "O Negative". Somebody with only the "B" factor would be "B Negative", while a person having only the "Rh" factor is "O Positive".

What types of receipients can receive Type B blood?
Type O or type A broadly speaking. it also depends on other proteins found on the surface of donated blood cells such as rhesus proteins. someone can be rhesus plus or rhesus minus meaning they either have the protein or don't. You can only receive blood of the same rhesus type of as your own for example: A rhesus positive can only receive A rhesus positive or O rhesus positive
Is Rh negative the same as a negative?
Rhesus negative is one of the major two variants in blood typing (the other obviously being Rh positive). For example, people refer to themselves as "A+", "O-" or "AB-". There is nothing wrong with having it.
What blood types are compatible for kidney transplant?
* O can be donated to any type, A can be given to both A and AB, B can be given to both B and AB, AB can only be given to AB. * O can only receive O, A can receive A or O, B can receive B or O, AB can receive any. * Rhesus negative can be given to both negative and positive. Positive can only be given to positive. Positive can receive both positive and negative, negative can only receive negative the organ used, and the blood used for transfusion during transplantation, must be from a donor of the same blood type as the patient. There are not blood types which are generallyincompatible with transplant, only those that are incompatible for specific transplants. The patient's blood type is what is important
Can a black person be rh negative?
The Black Cochin Jewish population has a high percentage of Rh-negative blood but the Rh-negative blood type is uncommon in the Black population in general, which is exactly the same interesting phenomenon as with the Oriental Jews of Israel who have a high percentage of Rh-negative blood, where among the Chinese and Japanese, Rh-negative blood type it is almost nonexistent.
Are there any blood types besides A B D and RH?
There are several different ways of 'grouping' blood. One system has blood groups A, B, AB and O. Another system is the rhesus grouping where a blood is classified as rhesus-positive or -negative; D and Rh are the same group. It is a combination of these 2 classificatons which is used most commonly. These are the most commonly known groups, but there are 28 additional systems that are recognised around the world.
Can a siblings with the same parents have differing RH factors?
I have a rhesus negative blood group and my sister has rhesus posotive. Does this mean we have different fathers
What types of receipients can receive Type B blood?

You can only receive blood of the same rhesus type of as your own for example: A rhesus positive can only receive A rhesus positive or O rhesus positive
Are Spina Bifida and rhesus negative blood connected?
No, they are not connected, although both conditions could occur in the same child. Any two conditions can occur in one child, but that does not necessarily mean the conditions are related. Rhesus negative blood depends on the blood type of the parents. Spina Bifida is a spinal condition, which has nothing to do with blood type.
Can 2 sisters have O positive and O negative blood types and have the same mother?
If their mother and father had different Rhesus factors, yes.
Can a same person's blood group change from 'o' positive to 'o' negative?
No it can't. A person with 0 positive blood, has Rhesus D antigens on its red bloodcells. There can't just come off :) RV
Is o negative and Bombay o negative same?
O negative and Bombay O negative are the same. The O negatives are able to give their donations to the other negative blood groups, however, they are unable to receive anything other then the Bombay blood groups and the O negative bloods.
Is Rh negative the same as a negative?
Rhesus negative is one of the major two variants in blood typing (the other obviously being Rh positive). For example, people refer to themselves as "A+", "O-" or "AB-". There is nothing wrong with having it.
Rhesus Factor in Blood?
It really did start with a rhesus monkey. There are four: O, A, B and AB. there is a factor, too. If you have it you are postive. If you don't you are negative. O is the most common and about 60% of people have it. About 30% have A. B is around 5% and the rarest, AB is about 2% O can donate to any other blood type depending upon the factor but can only give to itself. A can take O and B can, too. A can only give to A and B can only give to B. A person with the positive factor cannot give to someone with a negative factor and also the other way around. The rarest blood is AB negative and is found among the American Indians. there are also sub factors which usually occur as a result of having received blood. No blood factor is changed by donation of blood.
Why O negative blood can be gien to a person in acute emergency when blood of same blood group is not available?
because O negative are universal donor.
What blood type will child have if both parents are o negative?
If both parents are O negative than the child will also be O negative. This is a special case with O negative, the same logic doesn't apply to other blood groups.
How is your blood type determaned?
There are two important blood types: the ABO blood type and the Rhesus blood type. ABO is the A, B, AB, or O blood type, and the Rhesus type is the + or - usually written after the ABO blood type (eg. AB+ or O-). At the level of your blood, blood type is determined by proteins present on the surface of red blood cells, which circulate around your body delivering oxygen to cells. On the surface of red blood cells is a combination of three surface proteins: A, B, and Rhesus. Blood types code for the presence or absence of these proteins. Blood type A have A type surface proteins but lack B. Blood type B lacks A but has B proteins. Blood type AB has both, and Blood type O has neither A nor B. Rhesus positive exhibit the Rhesus protein, while Rhesus negative lack it. It is these proteins which determine which types of blood you can receive safely. Individuals with A type blood cells cannot be exposed to B type surface proteins safely, so B and AB blood is off the cards for them. O negative blood lacks any of these proteins so can be transfused into any patient, hence the term "universal donor". It is your genes which determine which of these proteins are expressed. As with the majority of genes you have two copies of both the ABO and Rhesus genes, one copy from your mother and one from your father. From each parent you inherent either an A, a B, or an O gene, and also either a Rhesus positive (Rh+) or a Rhesus negative (Rh-) gene. The combination of the two genes you have determines your blood type as follows: AA or AO = A Blood type BB or BO = B Blood type AB = AB blood type OO = O Blood type Rh+Rh+ or Rh+Rh- = Rhesus positive Rh-Rh- = Rhesus negative
