Rh factor it was first discovered in the blood of Rhesus monkeys (small monkeys from India often used for experimentation) and thus such factor is called as Rh factor.

A given individual either has the antigen already in their blood (they are Rh positive), or they don't (they are Rh negative). A patient's Rh status affects how he or she handles blood transfusions or organ transplants.
