A salute today for Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL):
The first Latina elected to Congress, Ros-Lehtinen represents a heavily Hispanic-American district. In an effort to raise awareness for the spread of HIV within the Hispanic community, Ros-Lehtinen contributed in a very public way to the 2007 launch of the "Test for Life Florida" coalition by undergoing an HIV test on National Latino AIDS Awareness Day.
A cheer for Ros-Lehtinen for helping to challenge the stigma around HIV and encouraging her constituents to get tested.
