Brief Answer:
if you have any of them in your blood then there is nothing more to get...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I'm not quite sure what you meant, because it sounds a little strange. Anyway, the answer is that you can't contracted a disease that you already have. If you have any of those viruses then your blood is infectious for the others, but not for you (because you already have the virus!).

I hope that's clear enough!
Please clarify your question, if you meant something different.

Kind Regards!
