Blood type O has been associated with some level of natural protection against certain diseases, including HIV, though the connection is not fully understood. Studies have suggested that people with Type O blood might have a lower risk of acquiring HIV compared to those with Type A, B, or AB blood. One theory is that certain proteins present in Type O blood could hinder the virus’s ability to infect cells. However, these studies are still under investigation, and no conclusive evidence suggests that being Type O offers full protection from HIV.
