You need a simple lab test to find out your blood group type. A small jab at the tip of the index finger and a drop of blood is all that is needed to know your blood group.

Regarding blood donation:
You could donate blood if you are between 18-55 yrs of age and with a weight of 50 kg or above with pulse rate, body temperature and blood pressure should be normal.

There are only few conditions in which donors are permanently excluded. The donor with history of epilepsy, psychotic disorders, abnormal bleeding tendencies, severe asthma, cardiovascular disorders, malignancy are permanently unfit for blood donation. Donors suffering from disease like hepatitis, malaria, measles, mumps, and syphilis may donate blood after full recovery with 3-6 months gap. Also people who have undergone surgery, blood transfusion may safely donate blood after 6-12 mths for woman donors who are pregnant or lactating blood is not taken as their iron reserves are already on the lower side.

Well, a blood test is taking at the hospital or in a lab. I will tell you how to actually do one if that is the question since everyone is just telling you it is done by a blood test. Samples are taken from your arm. Then you drop a drop of blood on a film and mix it with an antigen of the different groups, A B O. Depending on which ones react with your blood it will be your blood group, so if you drop a drop of antigen for A for example ontop of your blood and it reacts like a fizz or bubbling, and then you do it for all of them. Which ever one it reacts with is your blood type. If it reacts with A alone then your A, if its B then your B if its both A and B then your AB, and then if its O then your O. There is also another test which is called the RH test, and that'll tell you where your + or -, its the same idea, so if you get a reaction with the + antigen your + if not then your -, hope that helps.

There are lab tests to determine. Probably the most honorable way to find out....donate blood. The blood bank will send you a card back with your blood type on it.

you will have to get your blood tested in a medical lab, they will tell your blood type. first take a sample of your blood and give it to a lab, the lab doctors will charge you a little amount for it and will tell you your blood type.
option 2: your doctor can tell you without a lab test by some easy process but that may not always be correct. remember! it is not compulsory to donate your blodd to know your blodd type, but if you donate then it will be a noble decision. thank you!
