Final answer:

The virus that causes HIV/AIDS is contagious and can be spread through coughing or sneezing without covering mouth or nose.


Step-by-step explanation:

TRUE

The virus that causes HIV/AIDS is contagious and can be spread, much like a cold, by an infected person not covering a cough or sneeze. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) can be transmitted through direct contact with certain body fluids of an infected person, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.

For example, if an infected person coughs or sneezes without covering their mouth or nose, droplets containing the virus may be released into the air. If someone else comes into contact with these droplets and the virus enters their body through open cuts, mucous membranes, or through sharing needles, there is a risk of HIV transmission.
