Commonly asked questions
Yes, AB+ and O+ are compatible blood types. Individuals with type AB+ have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, making them able to receive blood from all other types (A, B, AB, and O).
No, O+ blood is not considered rare. In fact, it is the most common blood type, with approximately 38% of the world's population having this blood type. However, it can still be difficult to find a compatible donor for patients with O+ blood in certain situations, as they can only receive blood from other individuals with O+ or O- blood types.
