If Your blood is either RH+, meaning the blood has the RH factor, or RH-, meaning the RH factor is not in your blood. Some providers call the rH factor RH (D) positive or RH (D) negative.

Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. Antibodies (in the blood plasma): A antibodies. If there are B and Rh antigens but no A antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are A antibodies. The blood type notation B Rh+ indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood.
