blood type b +?

3 ⤊

I'm a b + blood type. My ancestors are Russian and Siberian nomadic herdspeople similar too indians and inuits. I seem to be healthier and stronger and with more stamina than most females. I've heard tell b-types are resistant to TB, and possibly the hiv virus. Is this true to any extent?

No. Blood types have no known effect on immunity to illness. Some hemoglobin variants protect against malaria however.
