Not only is it possible, it's necessary. The "negative" in your O neg. is the Rh factor. So it's an O neg donor for an O neg recipient. But if you're asking if an A neg or B neg person can give blood to an O neg, no.

Rh negative means you don't have an antigen (negative) for Rh. You can donate to an RH positive or negative individual if your ABO blood types are compatible. However an O negative patient can only receive blood from someone that is also O (either pos or neg). Since you did not specify your ABO type if you are also o neg you may donate however A, B, AB neg would be incompatible.

No, however depend blood type If the blood give any one O NEG rh can give to all types because no factor. The other type can give to same type if A, B , or AB. There other thing to be concern over in blood type
.Individuals either have, or do not have, the Rhesus factor (or Rh D antigen) on the surface of their red blood cells. This can be indicated with a plus (+) or minus (−) suffix after the ABO blood type (i.e. A- or O+), but for clarity in laboratory work it is better not to use this notation, which could be changed by a smudge. For laboratory work the suffixes 'Rh D positive', 'D pos' or 'RhD pos' may be used for Rhesus D positive blood, and the suffixes 'Rh D negative', 'D neg' or 'RhD neg' may be used for Rhesus D negative blood. In simplest terms, there may be prenatal danger to the fetus when a pregnant woman is RhD-negative and the biological father is RhD-positive. But, as discussed below, the situation is considerably more complex than that.

The ABO system is the most important blood group system in human blood transfusion. The associated anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies are usually IgM antibodies. ABO IgM antibodies are produced in the first years of life by sensitization to environmental substances such as food, bacteria and viruses. The "O" in ABO is often called "0" (zero/null) in other languages.[10]

When we talk about our "blood type" we refer to two blood grouping systems...rh and ABO. It's worth noting that there are hundreds of other blood grouping systems, but that rh and ABO are the most "significant" in terms of compatibility. In regards to your question, rh negative is one compatibility that your donor and recipient share. However, the ABO type of your donor is also important. Someone with type O blood will naturally make antibodies to both A and B blood types. A person who is type O should only receive red blood cells from someone who is also type O. "O" is a type that lacks both A and B antigens. There is no O antigen is merely designates the lack of A and B.

Unless the person is also O-, no they can't.
O- is the universal donor, meaning that any blood type could get O- if needed, but they can only receive O- blood.

Here in Vt. you could donate blood of a different type. They would not use the blood, but would give credit for a pint.

No. To donate blood, you can only donate to someone who has the same type.
