Abstract
In October of 1991, Kimberly Bergalis, a weak and frail AIDS victim, made a physically taxing journey to Washington D.C. She went, despite her deteriorating condition, to testify on behalf of a proposed bill that would require health care practitioners to be tested for the HIV virus before performing any invasive procedures. Kimberly was unknowingly infected by her dentist, who had the HIV virus.
