If a doctor told me they wouldn't perform a blood test that I'd pay for, I would immediately get a new doctor. No questions asked.Doubt if you will. He said he doesn't even know his.

We typed our own blood in high school science class. O+ here.
My blood type is on my dog tags (although that's from a while back ) If you served, and you can find your tags, you may be able to find out your blood type from them.
If you give your blood you will have those tests done for free.
They will find out your blood type and check for a bunch of diseases like AIDS and others.
A AIDS test alone will cost you quite a bit if you go to a private lab.
If they find anything bad a doctor will get back to you, and of course they will not use your blood.
I dont see why some people refuse to give their blood, other than if you have some health problems.
If you get in a car accident you will be glad that the local hospital has enough blood to save your life.
If you dont know your blood type maybe your parents know.Usually kids are tested to know their blood type when they are very young and parents know that.
That could be another way to know.
The last time I tried to donate, the Red Cross denied me because of my time serving in Germany. They said something about the fresh meat that is purchased from butchers. I didn't like being told I couldn't donate. I haven't tried since.
It's funny, in Japan blood type is one of the popular data on singles sites and whatnot. I've had a lot of blood tests, but never thought to ask, so I can't say.
Ordered myself one of those tests, now I can find out

I have the same problem. U.S. Military personnel who served in Europe in the 80's, were exposed to Mad Cow Disease through meat sold in the commissaries. It has been 28 years since I left the U.K. but I still cannot donate blood.
