Only 7 percent of people in the U.S. have type O negative blood. Type O negative donors are universal red cell donors as their blood can be given to people of all blood types. Type O negative blood is needed in emergencies before the patient's blood type is known and with newborns who need blood. About 45 percent of people in the U.S. have type O (positive or negative) blood. This percentage is higher among Hispanics â 57 percent, and among African Americans â 51 percent. Only 3 percent of people in the U.S. have AB positive blood type.
