Thats the most common.

The rarest is AB Rehsus Positive.

Im AB Rehsus Negative.

Really? Everyone I know is A/B. Must have gotten it mixed up.

What does Rehsus mean?

Unfortunately, the last time i tried to give blood i was turned away due to my tattoos

I've got the same problem. That and the fact that i'm absolutely terrified of needles.

Rehsus is just a name of the blood some people have. Yep you got it mixed up :laugh

A/B is very rare.

I've got the same problem. That and the fact that i'm absolutely terrified of needles.

Ah, I was scared of needles, I just looked away and I didnt feel a thing.

 

[Simbazz]

I'm terrified, but i'll go down next month once i've had them for a year...as per thier advice.

I hate needles, i can't stand anything which looks like hospital but i know a guy who died to massive blood loss, so its kinda stuck in my head since I was a kid.

 

[Kiko_97]

I will donate blood in 6 years.

Seriously mate, I am scared of needles, and before they did it, I just said, Excuse me, I am a bit scared of Needles, and the woman made sure I didnt even see it, She kept it under a piece of material, and I hardly felt anything when they put it in.

Seriously dude, nothing to be worried about.

 

[Simbazz]

I know I've had all my jabs n what not from High School, yets i still crapp myself within 10 yards of one

Nonetheless, its for a good cause.

Im AB Rehsus Negative.

Yup O isn't rare.
Actually rarest Blood group in the World is the bombay blood group, it has an incidence of 1 in 7500 (that is 0.013%) in some parts of India, and an overall incidence of 1 in 250,000 (that is 0.004%).
Then it would be AB at 3%.

in the UK: AB negative 1% of population
B negative 2% of population
AB positive 3% of population...

The Saddest thing is that Bombay blood group is rare and People with Bombay blood group can take blood only from person with Bombay blood group so it always has been hard for them to find blood.

Regarding to tattoos someone has mentioned that Doctors have denied to take his blood just because tattoos are one of the biggest risk factors for dangerous infections like Hepatitis B and HIV.
So as a friend If you ask me about tattoos then I always say no.

I am only 2% then. Just checked my donor card, Im not AB Negative, Im B Negative.

I want a tattoo when Im older, so I might have to give it a miss because I want to contine donating.
:happy

 

[Simbazz]

They told me to wait a year...so i assume i can next month.

 

[Manly]

I have said continuously I will donate as soon as I reach 17. No idea of blood type/group whatever.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

2 within a mile of me. May as well go down.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

When I become old enough i'll donate blood. It's for a good cause and nothing bad will happen to me if I do it. It's win win. .
