Increased patient use of O+POSITIVE blood has caused an increased need for donors. Donate now!
Type AB- platelets and plasma can be received by ANYONE, so this type is in high demand by hospitals for trauma patients and neonatal transfusions.
People with Type AB- blood can only receive Negative Rh types (A, B, AB, and O Negative.) That's only around 15% of the population!
Due to their universal platelets and plasma, donors with Type AB- blood are encouraged to become Apheresis donors and give Plasma, Platelets, or a combination of both to maximize their impact. Learn more about Apheresis donations here!
