A member asked:

No: No. Apparently you must have been mistyped initially.

No: This does not occur. You can ask your physician why that happened.

Bl type doesn't vary: A lab error is the best and probably only explanation for this discrepancy ; your blood type is either O+ or A-. It did not "go from O+ to A-". A repeat blood typing by a reliable lab should give you a definitive answer.
