title: Interview with Tammy, 20, White British, working class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version (Ref: EDD135)

description: This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).<br>Original transcript of an interview with Tammy, aged 20 living and working in Manchester. Currently working as a lunch-time organiser in a local school; studied psychology and sociology at college; also did community care course. Has also worked with people with disabilities and elderly people in care, found the latter hard when people died. Living at home with parents and paying them rent, no plans to move out for now, and has enough money for her needs. Interview focuses on recent end of long term relationship with boyfriend since age of 13, and attempts at dating since. Ex-boyfriend had 'cancer of the knee' and had his leg amputated aged 18. Not obvious that this impacted the end of the relationship, which she describes as ending because of lack of a 'mental connection', growing apart, due to his lack of initiative getting a job, perhaps 'moody' and withdrawn, not exactly clear whether just post amputation or before. Includes brief account of one night stand without contraception aged 14, which she is ashamed of (possibly not only because of lack of contraception but age suggests that she was also going out with her boyfriend at that time, and later in the interview she appears opposed to being unfaithful), and not shared story with parents, who she is otherwise very open with about sex. Otherwise committed to safe sex. Was going to have sex with a guy she met at a party recently but he wouldn't wear a condom and so she didn't continue with sex with him - on the pill, but concerned specifically about AIDS rather than STIs. Discussed learning the 'facts' about AIDS (and drugs) from her parents, esp father. Implication of siblings but little mention of them. Does describe some nights out with friends, but feels, because of her long term boyfriend, that she has let friendships lapse, and so does not have so many people to go out with. Some discussion that she could invite friends from school she has not seen for a while to a 21st birthday party, but not so easy to call up to go out with. Discusses not looking for a relationship, but wanting a bit more 'mentally' going on in order to have sex.

title: Interview with Gail, 30, White British, working class, Catholic. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version including fieldnotes (Ref: BYC05)

description: This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).<br>Original transcript of an interview with Gail, 30. She is going through a divorce at the moment. When considering future sexual partners and AIDS protection, she is confident that she would use condoms and sees it as her own responsibility to protect herself - she is happy to purchase her own condoms, and thinks that young women should not face any stigma around carrying their own condoms. AIDS education was gained through television programmes, which she thought focused too heavily on AIDS in the context of gay men. She believes young women have a fairly ignorant attitude towards AIDS protection, in that they don't believe they will be caught out. Gail had no sex education at school and has had to rely on her own 'common sense', which she imparts on her son.

title: Interview with Angela, 22, White British, middle class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version including fieldnotes (Ref: MAG50)

description: This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).<br>Anonymised transcript of interview with Angela 22, who is studying Drama at university. She is from an artistic family who are very open about sex. She went to an all girls, private secondary school, which pushed science subjects but otherwise had no other feminist ideology. There was very limited sex education at this school, which invited a prominent anti-abortion campaigner to deliver its sex education. Angela has a very high awareness of AIDS which comes largely from being part of a play about AIDS and working with gay men who were directly affected by AIDS. Angela s very concerned about the risks of HIV and AIDS and this has affected her decision making around sex. Angela has had a few short term relationships, which did not involve penetrative sex and is currently in a relationship with someone where she does have penetrative sex, although she would quite like this not to be the case. She prefers having relationships with younger, les sexually experienced men as they feel 'safer'. Her first experience of intercourse was rape, by a friend from a drama course. This was a difficult experience that she is still processing. Angela describes her experiences of taking part in drama courses as a teenager and being part of the drama scene in her early twenties and meeting older men who were 'really explicit' in their sexual pursuit and exploitation of younger women. Angela has mixed feelings about the drama world, which she has found to be liberating but difficult to handle. She has liberal, feminist values around her own sexuality, a lot of this influenced by the drama scene, but has lots of contradictions between her values and her practices. Is using the diaphragm as main contraceptive method, as she didn't want to use the pill. She is aware that she will still need to use condoms for higher level of protection, and is worried she is being 'over-protective'. She thinks they have a strong level of communication between them, which she thinks is an important factor in having safe sex and using contraception effectively. She thinks there is a lot of societal pressure to be in a steady relationship, especially as a woman, but doesn't see the appeal when she thinks about her friend's romantic relationship.

title: Second interview with Jill, 20, White British, working-class, Roman Catholic. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1990. Anonymised version including fieldnotes (Ref: AYC09(2))

description: This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).<br>Anonymised transcript of a second interview with Jill, age 20, who works full time (original interview not available). Since her first interview, she has broken up with her boyfriend, who had been engaged to another woman for four years. She has had some less serious relationships since the break up, and has used both the pill and condoms as contraception in sexual relationships. She talks about how using a condom was her male partner's idea, rather than her own. Most of Jill's friends have children now and seem to be settled down, but Jill doesn't seem too fussed at the moment - she would like to travel first. She would continue using condoms in future sexual relationships, though she doesn't enjoy using them and would ask her partner to have an STD test instead if she felt the relationship was serious enough. She has an awareness of her own sexual pleasure, but thinks men are typically 'selfish' in this respect. Jill is very aware of AIDS transmission and risk. She doesn't think recent campaign adverts are very effective, as they are not relevant enough to the everyday realities of young people. She notes that her peers have quite an ignorant attitude towards AIDS protection. Her mum has very homophobic attitudes around AIDS, who Jill describes as 'from Victorian time' and 'from another planet'.
