Rebecca ARMSTRONG (ARMSTRONG Rebecca)

Rebecca Armstrong grew up in the California desert, three hours drive from Los Angeles. Tomboy any Barbie preferred motorcycle. Perhaps, there was no competition bikers, which would not have taken part with his motorcycle Rebecca. She messed around among the boys, not thinking about that, of the angular rascals of boys' manners, it turned into a beautiful girl.

When Rebecca was 18, one of her friends sent her photograph to the Editor "Playboy". From that moment began a brilliant career model Rebecca Armstrong, which lasted until 1989. And in 1989 she has diagnosed HIV. Surprisingly, the terrible virus caught up with her not in Hollywood, as several earlier. Most likely, the cause was a bad blood transfusion during an abortion, or during the "dangerous" sex, which led to unwanted pregnancy, abortion and ... HIV.

She informed the press about his illness in 1994, giving a great interview with "Advocate". From that moment began a new life by Rebecca.

She travels around the country and giving lectures, she encourages young people are not lightly to your health. Her example of a more than convincing: as a model of "Playboy", she had everything - money, fame, she went where he wanted, did as he ... Just at some point she made the wrong choice. Rebecca encourages girls to take care of themselves, even if they trust their sexual partner. After Rebecca herself, quite possibly got the virus during an abortion, getting rid of an unwanted pregnancy.

Rebecca now lives in Los Angeles. Although the virus is in her blood more than 14 years, it is in good shape (that gives hope to many people also infected with HIV). It has a fanatical fan of healthy lifestyle: she runs every morning, and then puts the gym.
