You're A-
Watch this video to learn how your blood type and ideal donation support patient transfusion needs.
Your best donation types are...
Platelets
Most people can receive your platelets, and these donations are especially valuable for babies needing platelets due to the negative Rh factor.
Double Red Cells
Only 1 in 16 people are A-, so your red cells are needed to help other A- patients.
Whole Blood
A+, A-, AB+, and AB+ patients can receive your blood type!
Interested in donating platelets, double red cells, or whole blood? Read more about each donation type, or ask your phlebotomist for details. 🙂
These are the ideal donation types based on your blood type, but because hospital patient needs change daily, you may be asked to give a different donation type at your next donation appointment.
