Can HF have hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole forces at the same time?

Hydrogen bonding is a special case of dipole-dipole intramolecular forces. This is a trick question meant to make you understand this.
They are extremely strong versions, since the net dipole between very electronegative atoms (e.g.
The electronegativity difference isn't nearly as large in more polarizable, but electronegative atoms.
