No. Essentially, the transfused blood cells are hitchhikers while they do their job of carrying oxygen around the body. There is no "exchange" of DNA. Blood cells only last 21 days Max. Then the cells die off, and in the case of transfused blood, are replaced by the person's own blood.

I think it does for a while!
I was watching CSI the other night. The found a murdered girl, with no wounds, but blood on the blanket that matched her DNA. They couldnt figure out where the blood came from. It turned out her brother was sick, and had given him some of her blood. He had a nosebleed on the blanket (he was the killer) and cos he had just had some of her blood it matched her DNA

No - but a blood sample would have two profiles.
A bone Marrow transfusion can effect DNA.

No, it will have no long term effects on your DNA. I guess after major surgery where you needed a huge amount of donated blood, a blood sample immediately after the surgery might show strange results because the donated blood came from several people and there wouldn't be so much of your DNA present. But otherwise it wouldn't have much effect, your blood replenishes itself quickly.

No, a blood transfussion won't change your DNA. The DNA is found inside your cells. What does change your DNA is a bone marrow transplant, which changes the part of your body which makes new blood cells.

I am an x-blood transfusion and no it wont affect your DNA in any-way but will boost your energy and self-awareness.
So if you need to have one done go for it and good luck and good health to you my friend!

No, absolutely not. Your DNA is embedded in every cell of your body, including your blood cells, but having a few "strangers" in won't change the rest.
