David J. Acer

David J. Acer was a gay American dentist in Florida who is believed to have infected five of his patients, including Kimberly Bergalis, with HIV.

Acer tested positive for HIV in late 1986 and was diagnosed with AIDS in September 1987, three months prior to performing an invasive dental procedure on Bergalis. Acer closed his practice due to his illness in July 1989, several months before Bergalis was diagnosed with AIDS and he began to be suspected as the source of the virus. He died in September 1990.
