I have a feeling it's not just the O- people, but all the Negative blooded folks.
Maybe your right--to me it would make sense that which ever authority handles medical records in the US keep everyones blood type on file. Just out of interest, are your doctor(s) constantly asking for you blood for no reason known to you?
One thing I did notice in another thread was the repeated (by on user only) mention of O neg being used to make AIDS medication. If that were the case they would need universal donor blood so the medication could be used by AIDS patients of every blood type. I don't hold much faith in this claim, its one of the more out there ones, but it would support a monitoring of O neg.
As I said in the thread earlier, this is a topic I've never looked into so all the theories that have been made in relation to blood type are news to me.

There is no difference between those two...they are the exact same thing.
Regardless, I am also O negative!

Yes ive been perplexed since the beginning of the thread at the OP's statement " O- and O rh neg are different. They are one and the same thing surely. If theyre not, can the OP explain the difference.
It seems strange to start a thread about the negative blood topic when one is unsure about the definitions.
