Rebekka Armstrong Gallery
Rebekka Lynn Armstrong (born February 20, 1967 in Bakersfield, California) is a female bodybuilder and Playboy Playmate, whose announcement in 1994 that she was HIV-positive made international headlines.
Armstrong appeared in Playboy’s September 1986 issue, and tested positive for HIV in 1989. When she made her public announcement in 1994, she became (along with Magic Johnson) one of the best-known public faces of heterosexual HIV transmission.
She is now an HIV/AIDS awareness activist and safer sex educator, and a spokeswoman for several HIV-related charity groups. Rebekka has competed in several bodybuilding contests, and placed first in the middleweight category of the 2004 Los Angeles Bodybuilding and Figure Championship.
