O negative blood type is the universal donor, but this only applies in terms of ABO grouping and rh classification. There are exceptions, but O- is often used in an emergency situation until the ability to type and crossmatch is provided.

Plasma, however, has the opposite consequences. In terms of plasma, AB is the universal donor.

The impact is that whole blood must be matched. If you are giving blood components in an emergency situation, it should only be RBC's or plasma.

is A positive blood a universal donor type?

O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
