No, only the antibodies that fight the virus are found in the bloodstream. The actual virus stays around the spinal cord and your nerve system. It is more of a skin contact disease.
--------------------------- FROM Thomas_answers:
Blood indeed is very precious. The marvelous fluid is indeed unique in that it is really outstanding in what it does for us. The major worth stems around the fact that Christ's blood alone is the cure all, remedy, ransom for all mankind's woes! The amazing worth of Christ's blood is diminished by the abuse of the marvelous fluid by any idea of transfusing , eating (blood sausage etc.) Revelation 1:5 (Expanded Bible) and from Jesus Christ. Jesus is ·the faithful witness [or the faithful one, the witness], the ·first among those raised from [L�firstborn of/from among] the dead. He is the ruler of the kings of the earth. ·He is the One [L�To him] who loves us, who made us free from our sins ·with the blood of his death [L�by his blood].
NOTE THE carefulness we should express to any use of blood: (Acts 15:28,29) Amplified Bible: "For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit & to us not to lay upon you any greater burden than these indispensable requirments, 29 That you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols & from (tasting )blood & from eating the meat of animals that have been strangled and sexual impurity, If you keep yourselves from these things you will do well. Farewell"

No answer to disease
Medical science has done much in fighting disease, but the picture is not the rosy one forecast in 1975 by one of the world's leading scientists: "I know of no medical problems we will not be able to solve in the near future." Ten years later, not only is the fight far from being won but it is losing ground on many fronts.

Venereal diseases have not succumbed to antibiotics. Stronger antibiotics result in more resistant bacterial strains. AIDS is incurable and spreading-primarily among homosexuals, intravenous drug users, and recipients of blood transfusions. There is no known cure for genital herpes.

Newsweek of February 4, 1985, reported: "The United States is currently in the grip of an STD [sexually transmitted disease] outbreak of unprecedented proportions. The statistics are awesome: 1 in 4 Americans between the ages of 15 and 55 will acquire STD at some point in his or her life." The article concludes: "The best protection against STD, it seems, just might be a return to that old-fashioned safeguard: monogamy." This is an answer unacceptable to this world.
