Any advantage to being ab positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It means that you can take any blood sample that can be transfused. Since your blood has all the potential antigens (a, b, and the rh factor) you do not have any antibodies to those antigens. Therefore, you are known as the universal recipient.
