O+
AB+

A person can always receive a blood transfusion from someone with their own blood type. Some blood types can also receive blood from people with certain other blood types. A person with AB+ blood, for example, can receive any blood type, while someone with O- blood can give blood to anyone regardless of type. The universal recipient blood type is AB positive (AB+), and the universal donor blood type is O negative (O-). People who are AB+ can safely receive a blood transfusion of any other blood type, while O- blood can be safely given to someone of any blood type.

O+ blood is not a universal type, but it is in high demand since it is the most common blood type. Around 37% of the population has O+ blood.

Here’s a breakdown of recipient blood types and their matching donor blood types:
