Can base amperage on an NPN be negative, and still work?

I am using a couple of AND gates to turn on transistors. The datasheets
say it can output a max of -24mA at HIGH. I am attaching the output to
a 1K resistor - then to- the base of a NPN transistor. Does the
potential amperage need to be positive in order to turn on(saturate)
the transistor?
