What to if i am o negative blood group can i donate my blood to other groups?

YES!: You are the "universal donor, " because your red cells do not have a, b, or rh+ antigens on them. Your blood type is what is used in critical situations when someone needs blood immediately (usually from trauma), and there is not time to crossmatch the patient for his/her specific blood type.
