What is a negative blood type?

A negative blood type refers to a specific blood group classification based on the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells. It is determined by the presence of the Rh factor, a protein antigen found on the surface of red blood cells. If someone has a negative blood type, it means that the Rh factor is absent in their blood. This classification is important in blood transfusion and pregnancy-related medical interventions.

What are the types of a negative blood type?

There are four main types of negative blood types: A-, B-, AB-, and O-. These types are determined by the presence or absence of the A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells. A- blood type lacks the A antigen, B- blood type lacks the B antigen, AB- blood type lacks both A and B antigens, while O- blood type lacks both A and B antigens as well as the Rh factor.
