How many of you have donated blood at least once?

I think most of the members here have +ve blood group and I am the only who has -ve blood group.

So, clear proof given by you that negative groups are rare :P

Which group do you belong to?

I belong to A -ve blood group

Rarest blood group is AB-ve then comes B-ve and O-ve and lastly A-ve. are the rare blood groups.
Only 1% of population has AB-ve blood group hence it is the most rarely found blood group.

Yes +ve and -ve sign makes a whole lot of difference. If a person with negative blood group receives the blood with positive group then the recipient will die.
Hence it is necessary to check and confirm the gropus before any blood transfusion.

It is a nice information shared and also noticeable .

I have a doubt.
Even if AB- is rarest, they can receive blood from A-, B- and O- . Isn't it? Am I right??
If so, even if they are rarest, they get the benefits of Universal receiver.

Both A- and B- can receive blood from O-. Isn't it? So, they also have some benefits.

But O- can receive blood from O- only.

If so, which group will get less benefits, while considering this factor also? :whistle:
Sheetal can you tell me please :)

I think this is not possible. It happens in positive group only.
Let wait for Shetal.

Yes I agree with sheetal kamble they are the rarest groups that persons must be careful and must have the data of their group in their city.

I never donated blood. I had no opportunities as during my young age, there were neither facilities nor any drive for blood donation. Now I am too old.

Gulshan ji at the time of your younger age I think people got feared of giving blood to others.

I searched and got this link. Go through it to know about the time gap of blood donation

So,Once in every month Blood can be donated.

i also know it now only ;)

As in the article it tells that after every 8 days,blood can be donated. Didn't got its technical terms.

That was for donating only the platelets and not the whole blood.
By the way, those who have donated blood, I just wanted to know something. In the article it was written that one should have a good meal and plenty of fluids before donating blood. What about after donating blood? once somebody told me that after donating blood, one should take some extra diet regularly for few days. Did you take special diet after donating blood?

What is platelets?

Blood constitute of WBC,RBC,platelets,serum. So platelet is a vital part of blood .Disease like Dengue is related to platelets . In Dengue the platelet counts get decreased and one has to donated platelets.There is a machine from which they separate platelets from blood of the donor and is given to the person suffering from dengue. :)

Yes i donate blood.it is also good for our health too .We must give once ina month.

Yes you are right Sandhya. Blood group 0-ve has less benefit than AB -ve, A-ve and B-ve blood groups.
But AB-ve is rarest blood group which means very less people would have AB-ve blood group. But AB-ve has more benefits as compared to other -ve blood groups.

I haven't donate blood and i don't think i will ever do. I am sorry,i can't do it.
