Eli5 How come getting blood from someone else doesn’t change your genetics?

If you’re at the hospital and you get pumped full of blood, how come it doesn’t change your genetics? Is blood unrelated to that sort of thing and I’m just stupid?

Long story made very short: We get our blood from our DNA. We do not get DNA from our blood.

Not sure if that’s long enough for ELI5, but it’s about as simple as it can be put.
