HIV CAN be transmitted by blood in a cut in the skin. Therefore, this statement is true.
For instance:
Imagine two friends are hanging out. One friend has HIV and the other doesnt. Lets say they both get a cut on their finger. This results in both of them bleeding. If they make blood contact (meaning they put their cuts that are bleeding together), HIV can be transmitted to the friend that doesnt have HIV. Overall, both friends will have HIV.
So yes, this statement is true since blood to blood contact with a person who does have HIV can transmit HIV into the other person who doesnt have HIV.
I hope my answer helped you. Please make my answer brainliest if it did. Thank you!
