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?

Blood carries your genes, but doesn’t make them. Or in other words, when blood is created it has the genes of whoever produced it, but as it travels around your body it doesn’t change anything because that’s simply not what blood does.
