HIV is the name of the virus that infects the body. AIDS is the name of the illness that develops later.

They compare a bit like the seed and the grown plant.

HIV means that you've got the virus in you, AIDS means that it's begun overpowering your immune system, making you sick.

With current medicines a person can carry the virus for many years before developing AIDS.

How did kimberly bergalis get HIV FROM HER DENTIST?

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.
