Blood Type Compatibility: Can O+ Donate to B-?
No. O+ blood cannot be donated to a B- recipient. B- recipients can only receive B- or O- blood. O+ blood has Rh(D) antigen, which triggers an immune reaction in Rh-negative recipients, causing potentially fatal hemolytic transfusion reaction. Always match blood types carefully.
