Yes, O- persons should only receive blood from O- donors. This is because people with Type O blood have antibodies circulating against both A and B red blood cell antigens and Rh- people have antibodies circulating against Rh factors. Therefore, an O- person will have antibodies against all other blood proteins and cannot receive those proteins in a blood transfusion without risking severe and immediate life-threatening medical complications.

No, individuals with blood type O negative are considered universal donors, meaning they can donate blood to individuals with any blood type. However, individuals with O negative can only receive blood from other O negative donors.

What blood type is called the universal recipient because people with it can take transfusions from anybody?

The blood type that is can be given to anyone is blood type O-. A person that has the blood type O- is called a universal donor because O- is compatible (as long as they are not an alien!).
