What is the difference between a blood group and a donor type group?

    Short Answer

    Blood Group Communities are based on your blood type, while Donor Type Groups are based on the type of donation you perform or wish to support.


    Detailed Explanation

    BDOI® organizes Groups in two different ways.

    Blood Group Communities

    These are based on your blood group, such as:

    • A RhD positive (A+)
    • O RhD negative (O−)
    • Bombay Blood Group

    You belong to only one Blood Group Community.

    Donor Type Groups

    These are based on donation interests or experience, such as:

    • Blood Donor
    • Platelet Donor
    • Plasma Donor
    • Granulocyte Donor
    • Double Red Cell Donor
    • Apheresis Donor
    • CMV Negative Donor
    • Rare Blood Type Donor

    You may join multiple donor type Groups.


    Key Points

    • Blood Group = your blood type.
    • Donor Type = your donation interest.
    • They serve different purposes.
