A Correct answer
Explanation

HIV can be transmitted through blood, including contaminated needles and equipment used for body piercing or tattooing. If instruments are not properly sterilized between clients and are contaminated with HIV-positive blood, the virus can be passed to the next person. This is why licensed professionals must use sterile, single-use or properly autoclaved equipment.
