What Is Special About O Positive?
O-positive and CMV-negative blood type is the safest blood type that can be transfused to immunocompromised newborns. Although the O-positive people can donate blood to people with any positive blood type, they can only receive blood from O positive and O negative (O−) people.

What is the healthiest blood type?

Type O negative red blood cells are considered the safest to give to anyone in a life-threatening emergency or when there's a limited supply of the exact matching blood type. That's because type O negative blood cells don't have antibodies to A, B or Rh antigens.

What are the health benefits of having O positive blood?

Chances are higher you'll live longer if you have type O blood. Experts think your lowered risk of disease in your heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease) may be one reason for this.
