Parents that both have a Positive RH factor CANNOT give birth to a child that has a Negative RH factor. ..... AB positive may receieve any blood type no matter what the RH factor is, they are the universal recipients, but they can only donate to AB positive. A person that is O positive can only recieve O positive or O negative but can donate to all positive blood types.
