Is it possible for your blood type to change?

[ewurm]

My birth certificate says my blood type is B+, but the Army swore up and down that my blood type is AB+. I believe the Army, they tested multiple times and I was born in a shi-town. What do you think? Evidence is appreciated.

I don't think so, but I don't have any evidence to back it up. It will, however, be the first time I have ever been wrong if we find out otherwise though.

NO WAY... it could not happen man.. the hospital that you were born in must of just been plain stupid

No. Probably, they got somebody elses blood and mistakenly gave the reslut to you.

It is not unusual for negatives to be recorded as positive but types do not change

The same thing happened to my grandpa when he served in the Korean war. He was labeled as type AB+ and always thought that that was his type. Many years down the road, he was tested and found out that AB+ was in fact not his blood type. The hospital that tested him said that back then a lot of soldiers would just automatically be labeled that because it is the "universal doner" type. I forget the reasoning behind labeling them AB+ (it didn't make much sense to me at the time), but he believed that he was AB+ for the majority of his life, when that was not actually the case.

But no, you can't change blood type during the course of your life.

It was probably wrong when you were born oh so long ago... technology has advanced.. thats all I can think of...

I think the people at the hospital where I was born were rednecks, and didn't know how to type blood so they just guessed.
