There is no blood type D in humans. She needs to find out her blood type: O, A, AB, or B

She's Rh negative, but that doesn't tell us if she's A, B, AB, or O.
Often times, the D is used when there is no A, B, or AB; making her an O. However, this is not always the case. The best thing she can do is fine out her ABO blood type, either by donating blood, asking her medical provider to order the test, or with a home testing kit. In the USA, this test costs $10 and I assume it's about the same price in the UK.

the D antigen is in reference to the RH status
find out her blood type first and let us know
If you do not have the D antigen, you will be RhD negative
so she is in fact an RH positive, cause she does have the D antigen

Are the 5 antigens important? Why haven't we heard of them before?
