The O is the type of blood you have. The negative is the RH factor. Ex. If you are O- you are a universal donor. If O+ you are a universal receiver. O- can only receive blood from a O- person, but can donate to anyone

O- person

RH negative is not a blood type. It's just the negative factor of blood. Like if a person is O-, they have the RH negative factor. People with O+ blood have a positive RH factor. It doesn't mean anything good or bad, it just tells you what type of blood you will need if you ever need a transfusion.

no it isn't rh is a type of blood that only a people have the O- is a normal blood type.

Rh- means there is no Rhesus factor present on the red blood cell. Blood type designates the antigen type present on the blood cell.

PS AB+ is the universal receiver, no O+.
