Can a O positive person give blood to any other type?


Answer:
yep, O's are the universal donors. Pay attention to your rh factor though (o+ or o-)
O negatives can

O positives can only donate in the positive types
They can give to anyone with any letter positive blood type.
No it is O negative that can donate to anyone.
It's the MOST common, so I would say yes.
No, just an O negative blood type can do that.
Yes, they can, O is also known as universal donor.
Yes, a 0 positive person can give blood to any other type but can only take blood from a person that has blood type 0,too.
Yes. O types can give to all other blood types, being the universal donor. On the other hand, AB is the universal recipient.

A person with type A blood can donate blood to a person with type A or type AB. A person with type B blood can donate blood to a person with type B or type AB. A person with type AB blood can donate blood to a person with type AB only. A person with type O blood can donate to anyone.

A person with type A blood can receive blood from a person with type A or type O. A person with type B blood can receive blood from a person with type B or type O. A person with type AB blood can receive blood from anyone. A person with type O blood can receive blood from a person with type O.
Type O-negative blood does not have any antigens. It is called the "universal donor" type because it is compatible with any blood type. Type AB-positive blood is called the "universal recipient" type because a person who has it can receive blood of any type. Although "universal donor" and "universal recipient" types are occasionally used to classify blood in an emergency, blood type tests are always done to prevent transfusion reactions.
Almost 40% of the population has O+ blood

Patients with Type O blood must receive Type O blood

About half of all blood ordered by hospitals in our area is Type O

Type O blood is the universal blood type and is the only blood type that can be transfused to patients with other blood types

Only about 7% of all people have Type O negative blood

Type O negative blood is the preferred type for accident victims and babies needing exchange transfusions

There is always a need for Type O donors because their blood may be transfused to a person of any blood type in an emergency
