It isn't clear, in retrospect, whether Bergalis actually did get HIV from her dentist.
Recent information has come to light that the CDC may have made errors in declaring the strain of HIV which infected Bergalis to be the same as Bergalis.
Additionally, examinations conducted on Bergalis posthumously discovered HPV infections (genital warts). Therefore, her sexual history has been called into question.
It is quite possible that HPV was transmitted to Bergalis via birth, or that she contracted HPV in the 2 years after she contracted HIV. Neither of her two admitted boyfriends were diagnosed with HPV.
