If a person has Rh+ blood they can receive Rh+ or Rh− blood.
If a person has Rh− blood they can receive Rh− blood only.
Explanation: Rh− people lack the Rh (D) antigen and can form anti‑D antibodies if exposed to Rh+ blood, so they should not receive Rh+ blood; Rh+ people already have the antigen and therefore tolerate both Rh+ and Rh−.
