Blood Type B
B+ Blood Type
B+ is the third most common among the 8 blood types
Your blood can help patients with AB+ and B+ blood types.
Your blood type is ideal for platelet donations, which you can donate every 7 days, and 7 days after a whole blood donation.
B- Blood Type
B- is the second most rare among the 8 blood types
Your blood can help patients with AB+, AB-, B+ and B- blood types.
Your blood type is ideal for a Super Reds donation. You donate just red blood cells through an apheresis (ay-fur-ee-sis) donation. This donation results in twice as many red cells for patients, and it allows you to come in to donate two times a year with the same impact as donating whole blood six times a year. Give it a try at your next appointment.
