Sue, I think it's possible that what they're really getting is a weak positive, by the sound of it. Although from what I've read it said they tend not to use that term much anymore, perhaps they replaced it with borderline (the do seem to like it eg borderline diabetic). Does she have children? I would think it's an issue that would need clearing up for her when she's having kids. From what I understand, people with RhD neg are ok on the first exposure, it's the second exposure that causes the problem because antibodies have been generated to it (hence why they give the Anti-D jab after the first baby).

To be sure, BC, less so in Ireland though. LOL ;-))

haven't seen her, maybe she fainted at the mention of all this blood?

No she hasn't any kids but I'll bear that in mind to tell her about it.

With O being recessive and A and B being dominant I assume this means there will be less type O people as the years go on?

I know different blood types are better at fighting off diseases. B types, for instance, weren't good at fighting off the plague.

Rose, you would think so, wouldn't you? As there's more and more mixing. I have to admit that I was surprised it was so high. I thought it would be rarer. And maybe that example you gave explains why B is rarer than A and O. It's all very interesting.
