People with blood type A negative tend to take their time when dealing with difficult situations. We have a desire to get things right. OCD is high among A negatives, but this is the extreme. It is not about the condition, but the predisposition.
We are perfectionists, hard on ourselves. We want to have a life without conflict and are great negotiators. Teaching comes natural to us. We are often underestimated or estimated wrongly by those only focused on personas.
In relationships, A negatives tend to be drawn to other A negatives, but A negative women often also tend to be drawn to O negative men and A negative men to AB negative women.
I am AB- and use to donate blood regularly for palettes for newborns.
I can’t donate anymore due to meds I take.
Hi Mike. My husband and I are both a-, and he also seems to get along better with women.
When did you find out you are both A-?
I learned my bloodtype 10 years ago but we just learned his about a month ago. I promise I knew he was rh negative, but I was kind of shocked when his was a-…Its so weird how that happens.
Perhaps A blood group is now the universal donor?
Being A- myself I found it an interesting read.

(If suitable, happy for you to move this to a more appropriate thread)
very interesting…seems like it might finally take some pressure off the O negs like myself. seems like very good news overall. some quotes from the 1st link:
“Researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada have found a way to convert Type A blood in to a universally accepted form, potentially doubling the amount of universally accepted blood available. ”
“Researchers were able to find bacteria in the human gut that produce two enzymes stripping type A blood’s antigens turning it in to antigen free type O negative blood cells.
Further studies need to be conducted to insure all blood antigens are removed from the type A blood, but if proved successful, the conversion type A blood would revolutionize blood transfusions.”
— hmm, some gut bacteria were found that seem to able convert/remove the A antigen and turn type A blood into essentially type O blood. they’re seeking also to do the same w/ type B blood antigens. the bacteria apparently do not remove the Rh (D) positive factor. so whatever Rh (D) factor the blood starts as, it stays that way – positive or negative when it’s converted to O [i wonder if anything else happens during conversion]. according to the study in the 2nd link’s abstract:
Published: 10 June 2019
“Here we report the functional metagenomic screening of the human gut microbiome for enzymes that can remove the cognate A and B type sugar antigens. Among the genes encoded in our library of 19,500 expressed fosmids bearing gut bacterial DNA, we identify an enzyme pair from the obligate anaerobe Flavonifractor plautii that work in concert to efficiently convert the A antigen to the H antigen of O type blood, via a galactosamine intermediate.”
“Their ability to completely convert A to O of the same rhesus type at very low enzyme concentrations in whole blood will simplify their incorporation into blood transfusion practice, broadening blood supply.”
I got locked out of reading that report, access denied. Which being a Medium l find fascinating. Nothing ever happens without a reason. Because l believe alien life on earth is here looking for Rhesus Negatives. And if anything has agenda, converting A or B to universal O, certainly does. We are a gullible species. Plus, l believe alien lifeform have been here as long as we have, but cannot live, or breathe naturally on earth. So, use us as their channel. And we are only still alive because they need us to piggy back across. I believe a great deal more, but l will just watch the ancient alien hunters fling their beliefs around for now, l don’t need the arguments.
I was given an A Neg blood bank card to carry aged seventeen, pregnant with my first child in 1962 here, in the UK. I’d already nearly died a few times, spent half my life in hospitals growing up, and reacted badly to a tetanus injection, requiring three penicillin shots to keep me alive age 14, because a nail went right through my foot. So, my rare blood was well known to our medics in my town. I’d go on to have many, many more NDEs because of my blood type, but pregnant scared them witless. It was rare, it was a killer of mum, or baby in the womb, or both. “We need the father’s blood type!” I didn’t know it. He’d disappeared as soon as he knew his tiny image was stamped and dated in my womb. So, without my permission, l got my first Anti-D shots during that pregnancy. The sixties, we, women, are brain dead, they, male doctors, male gynaecologists, are god’s walking the earth. They went on and on about it, but l never told. Then he was born. Perfect. Only one big event, he was breech, and my date was on its eve, and l was tiny, elfin, like Barbara Windsor but brunette. Then suddenly, without warning, he somersaulted, flipped completely over, like someone flipped a switch, no messing, just zip, and he was upside down and his head engaged, and by bedtime, l was in the labour ward. He arrived at 5.15am. l was saved from surgery. God is still protecting me. They had blood standing by. “He might need a total change of blood, he could be born with blue blood and he could due, you could die!” All because l wouldn’t name his dad, and they didn’t know his blood type. In the interim, someone l’d known, loved, and never slept with, had returned, ignored the facts and proposed, and stood in as his dad and promised to love me for life, and we married when l was seven months. He was O Negative. When my son was ten months old a motorbike pulled in beside me keeping pace with my pushchair as l walked alone, it was my son’s natural dad, now a Paratrooper in the British Para Regiment. He always was a bad tough guy, his gypsy genes l guess. Same grey eyes, jet black hair, a cross between Elvis and Steve McQueen. “That’s mine then? Let’s see him?” And we talked, and we laughed, and we shared our updated lives. He had a third son in his marriage now, a fourth with ours outside. He was in leathers, on leave, so I saw the dog tag round his neck. “What’s that Rob?” “oh, just my blood type!” I grabbed it, turned it over, was stunned, yet not stunned at all, l knew God would be in charge.Rhesus D Negative Group A cde/cde. My identical blood. Our son now 59, is the same. Don’t think there is no watcher, no corrector of mistakes. Rhesus Negs like us don’t need our blood type changed, we have the blood of the Gods in us, and the Creator is in charge. He truly does watch all the lonely sheep.
I found out I was A- when my spouse was pregnant and we were both tested for blood type, because she didn’t want to have to the Rhogam shot unless it were necessary, but since we are both Rh-, it turns out she didn’t need it. I don’t know much about the different diseases and medical conditions associated with being Rh-, but it is an interesting topic. When I was teenager, I contracted a viral infection, and as a rare complication, I developed acute pancreatitis and spent a couple of weeks in the hospital. Many years later, I developed chronic pancreatitis (which I am still dealing with), which causes a lot of severe abdominal pain and malabsorption issues, and I’ve been told that in my case it is “idiopathic” or “cause unknown” since I don’t drink alcohol or have many of the other risk factors associated with the condition. Also, I’ve read that Rh- negatives supposedly have lower blood pressure than the general public, but that is not true for me, although my body temperature is typically lower than normal. I recognize a lot of the traits mentioned in the videos in myself, but I’m still grappling with the notion that these traits could be related to one’s blood type — but I’m certainly open to that possibility. At any rate, the videos are interesting and provide food for thought.
