The answer is False: If an individual's erythrocytes exhibit surface antigen $D$, the person is said to be $Rh$ positive.

Explanation:

  • The presence of the $D$ antigen on the surface of erythrocytes (red blood cells) indicates that the person is $Rh$ positive. This is a key factor in determining the $Rh$ blood group system.
  • If the $D$ antigen is absent, the person is considered $Rh$ negative.
  • Therefore, the statement that having the $D$ antigen makes a person $Rh$ negative is incorrect.
