As the diagram below shows, most blood types can receive their own blood type and 1 or more others. When getting a blood transplant it is preferable for people to get blood that is the same type as theirs, but if their own blood type is not available they will use another type. AB+ can receive any blood type, but O- can only receive O- blood, but can give to any blood type, so it is on high demand for all patients with only 9% of the population having it.
