I got a cut a deep cut on my finger and it bled. There is a small but noticeable amount of blood. Is there anyway to get it out after it has dried?

Rinse out the stained area as much as possible. Put some Tide on it and scrub the area with a toothbrush. Rinse and do it again. This time, put more Tide on and make a paste. Leave the past on for 20 minutes and then wash your jeans in cold water. Do not use warm or hot water because they will set any residual blood in further.
Air dry your jeans to make sure the stain is gone. Heat drying will embed the stain further.
If there is still a bit of staining left. Get a Spray 'N Wash stain stick and the liquid additive. Apply the stain stick, use the liquid additive with some Tide and wash again in cold water.

Wash with a detergent containing protease enzymes. Tide with Bleach Alternative has the highest amount of protease enzymes on the market and was rated best at getting out blood stains by Consumers Reports.
Wash in cold water - hot water denatures the proteins in blood (hemoglobin) and will set the stain. Do not use bleach or peroxide because bleach and peroxide will cross-link the proteins and set the stain.
You can let the jeans soak in the detergent with enzymes if you like, and then wash in cold water.

It's a little-known fact, but your own spit will break down the enzymes in your own blood better than anything else. So, you can spit on the stain enough that it's fairly saturated and let it sit for a bit before rinsing it under cold water. This should do the trick.
Or, failing that, clear and colorless hand soap often does the trick when used with COLD WATER. I just tried the second technique on a shirt collar with dried blood on it, and it worked perfectly.

In the past I've put some detergent directly on the stain before putting it in the washer (I use Gain). If its jeans I wash it in cold water and that always does the trick. I don't know if it's the brand of detergent or the method but I've never had to use a separate stain remover thus far.

Use a spot remove. i.e Shout. Spray and Wash. Let solution sit on stain for as long as the instructions say or longer, then wash as usual.

Shout it out. Shout is a spot remover. Soak in cold water then use Shout and scrub.
