Detailed explanation-1: -Those with O positive blood can only receive transfusions from O positive or O negative blood types.
Detailed explanation-2: -But if you have type O blood, your red blood cells have no A or B markers. So: Your body will have both A and B antibodies and will therefore feel the need to defend itself against A, B, and AB blood. A person with O blood can only get a transfusion with O blood.
