Is the general blood type Rh positive or negative?

Generally, blood type is Rh-positive. The specific analysis is as follows:

Due to differences in specific antigens present on red blood cells, blood types vary. Clinically, two blood group systems are commonly used: the Rh blood group system and the ABO blood group system. The ABO system is further divided into four blood types: type A, type B, type O, and type AB. The Rh system is primarily classified into Rh-negative and Rh-positive, based on the presence or absence of a specific antigen. Rh-positive is considered a normal blood type, whereas Rh-negative is relatively rare. When individuals with Rh-negative blood suffer trauma and require transfusion, finding a compatible match can be more difficult, as only a small portion of the population has Rh-negative blood. Therefore, Rh-negative blood is considered rare and especially valuable. All blood types are equal—none are inherently better or worse, and comparisons between them are generally meaningless.

In addition, during blood transfusions, it is usually necessary to prioritize transfusing the same blood type to avoid hemolytic reactions after transfusion.
