Blood transfusions were not possible until Karl Landsteiner first identified the major human blood groups -- namely O, A, B, and AB -- in a series of experiments in 1901 that earned him the Nobel Prize. (At the time, Landsteiner identified only groups A, B, and O; further analysis, two years later, revealed group AB.)
The ABO blood groups are defined by specific inherited molecules, or antigens, that are present on the surface of red blood cells. Thus, one inherits either A or B antigens (group A or B), both A and B antigens (group AB), or neither antigen (group O). Conversely, a person develops a natural immunity, or antibody, in their plasma to the ABO antigens that are absent on their own red cells. Thus, a group A person has anti-B antibodies, and group O person has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies.
If group A red cells are mistakenly transfused to a group O recipient, for example, the anti-A antibody in the recipient's plasma destroys the transfused group A cells and a serious transfusion reaction occurs. Because group O has anti-A as well as anti-B antibodies, group O recipients can only accept blood from group O donors. Conversely, group AB recipients can receive blood from all groups.
There are many other antigens on the red cell surface. The most important is the Rh factor. A person is defined as either Rh positive or Rh negative depending on the presence of the primary Rh antigen on the red cell. In contrast to ABO antigens, however, a person only develops anti-Rh after exposure to Rh-positive red cells through transfusion or pregnancy. Modern blood-banking technology uses highly sensitive tests to properly identify and match blood between donor and recipient
AB negative is the rarest blood type (1 percent of the population).
The newest and rarest group, AB, only appeared between 1000 and 500 years ago, and is believed to have occurred as a response to the mixing of existing blood groups on a major scale. In Japan, China and Pakistan around 10% of the population boast this rarest of blood groups. Amazing

You answered your own question and according to your factor, AB+ (not AB-) is also a universal receiver.
Meaning you could take any type of blood like the Red Cross and still earn interest while at it.
However, if you are O negative, you won't able to do this.
You will be running a few pints low due the high demand for such a blood type.
Due to some factor with the positive, negative, and blood type, they must match.
Otherwise, antigens will form and it will be lights out for you.
