About this treatment
Determining your blood type can help inform medical treatment compatibility and avoid various complications. This blood type test (or ABO/Rh test) identifies your blood group (ie, A, B, AB, O) and Rh factor (ie, positive, negative). Your blood type is inherited and based on the presence or absence of certain sugars (ABO blood group antigens) or proteins (Rh antigen) attached to the surfaces of your red blood cells. Buy your own blood type test online with Quest. No doctor’s visit is required – simply purchase blood type testing, visit a nearby Quest® location for sample collection, and get fast results.
