First we'd have to agree on a definition of "germs". You have viruses in your system that are with you all the time. They usually do not cause disease, but they can under the right circumstances.
Our blood will also contain parts of the bacteria, viruses, or fungus that we have recently been exposed to, as they are carried to the lymphatic system for the immune response.
In a healthy person, if you took some blood and put in on some media in a petri dish, you would not expect to see growth.

No. Blood is normally sterile.
If you have an infection (overgrowth of bacteria) then it is called septicaemia which can be fatal if not managed quickly.
There may be trace levels of invading bacteria or viruses but they are taken out of the circulation by the immune system.

well, you can say there is since hemoglobin (w/c is a form of blood) transports particles throughout our body.. it's main function is to:
- supply oxygen to tissues
- supply of nutrients
- removal of waste such as CO2, urea and lactic acid
- circulates white cells
- coagulation
- regulation of ph
- " of body temp.
- and other hydraulic functions..
so given these functions of the blood, it seems to be that it acquires germs while circulating the entire body... transporting this and that, delivering this and that, excreting this and that...
