Kimberly Ann Bergalis (January 9, 1968 – December 8, 1991) was one of six patients intentionally infected with HIV by dentist David J. Acer who had AIDS.〔Lambert, Bruce (December 9, 1991). (Kimberly Bergalis Is Dead at 23; Symbol of Debate Over AIDS Tests. ) ''New York Times''〕 This incident is the first known case of clinical transmission of HIV. ==Background== The eldest of three daughters, Bergalis was born in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania in 1968, where her family lived until moving to Florida in 1978. In 1985, she enrolled at the University of Florida and majored in business. In December 1987, dentist Dr. David Acer removed two of Bergalis's molars. Acer was HIV-positive at the time, having been diagnosed that fall. In March 1989 Bergalis began to show symptoms of AIDS and was diagnosed with the disease in January 1990. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initial report that she had likely acquired her infection from her dentist prompted Acer to write an open letter requesting that his patients be tested for HIV infection. The Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services tested over 1000 patients, discovering two additional HIV-positive patients. The CDC would eventually identify a total of ten HIV-positive former Acer patients, and link the infections of six to their dentist.〔Hillis DM, Huelsenbeck JP (1994). Nature 369:24-5〕
