A+ is a common blood type which makes it the most needed blood for transfusions, so you may be asked to donate whole blood. Whole blood donors are eligible to give blood every 8 weeks.

Platelets are another way to maximize your donation as an A+ blood type. Hospitals are always in need of platelets as they are critical to blood clotting. Platelet donors are eligible every 2 weeks.
