title: Interview with Donna, 18-19, White British, lower middle class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version including fieldnotes (Ref: NMC06).

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 Donna, who is doing 'A' levels and 'O' levels at college. She recognises that her allocation into the 'top class' at school is partly due to her higher class background and the opportunities that this has afforded. She had a very positive experience of sex education at school with PSE lessons for two hours each week in mixed-sex groups. This was very informative, holistic and realistic, covering topics such as relationships, marriage, contraception, female sexual pleasure, masturbation, abortion, homosexuality and the potential impact of having children on relationships. She also learnt through television and conversations with her mother and older sister following her sisters' abortion at age 16. However, AIDS was not covered in detail in the sex education received at school, and this was largely learnt through magazines, leaflets and TV. She did not think that public health campaigns surrounding AIDS were useful as it did not address the possibility of contracting AIDS within a heterosexual relationship, instead focussing on needle users and gay men. Donna considers safe sex to be using condoms and not promiscuously engaging in casual sex. She does not agree with one-night stands. She is aware of and practices her entitlement to sexual pleasure within a heterosexual relationship. Donna had previously been in a relationship, but was subject to domestic violence from her male partner. The first time she had sexual intercourse was nonconsensual, but did not consider her virginity to be something that was important or sacred. In her current relationship she uses both condoms and the pill to protect herself against pregnancy, rather than to protect against transmitting STIs or AIDS. She would like to establish a career before thinking about marriage or children.

title: Interview with April, 16, White British, upper working class. Women, Risk and Aids Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version (Ref: AMD2255)

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 a young woman (April), age 16, with a current male partner of three years who is 21 years old. She highlights some generational conflict within her family when it comes to discussing sex and contraception, where her mother (aged 55) is reluctant to address it, while her father is much more open. She also has two older brothers, age 30 and 25. This is her first sexual relationship and she waited 'a few months' before engaging in sexual intercourse with her partner. She feels that she trusts him, and he treats her as an adult, and has considered a future together but would like to establish her own career before getting married. They were originally using condoms and the morning-after pill, but April is now on the pill. She learnt about contraceptive methods through her older brothers, her aunt and from reading magazines. Her sex education at school was largely scientific and covered STI's and contraceptive methods, either through the science department or a visiting teacher from the local Family Planning Clinic; AIDS education was touched upon in biology lessons, but most of what she knows about AIDS has been picked up from television and other public health campaigns. As she has only had one sexual partner, she does not consider herself as 'at risk' (in comparison to some of her more promiscuous peers). Safe-sex, to her, means using condoms/barrier methods of contraception. She doesn't feel too much embarrassment about buying condoms from public places, like chemists, but would like them to be more freely available in more private spaces, like women's toilets and thinks she would be able to discuss risk and sexual history with a new partner in the future.

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 a young woman (Sophie) living in a village near Doncaster, who has moved around (largely in northern England) due to her father's work as a managing director. She went to a private school, but started her A levels a year early thanks to her high grades achieved at O level. The school was 'very academically minded', compared to another local girl's school that focused on female domesticity. She aspires to be a beauty therapist, against the wishes of her father. Her sex education at school was largely biological, with brief coverage of AIDS, STDs and birth control in sixth form. As an all girls school, and being split into small groups, she found it easier to discuss these topics. She has had two sexual relationships with males, the first of which left her feeling used and disappointed (a short relationship where he 'only wanted one thing'). There was a lot of pressure from female peers to lose her virginity. She hasn't used any barrier methods of contraception, but has been relying on the pill which she was using for her bad period pains - she would be to embarrassed to proffer a condom, but had bought some from a chemist for a girl's holiday abroad as a precautionary measure. Pregnancy is deemed a higher-risk than AIDS or other diseases, perhaps in part because AIDS, unsafe (unprotected) sex and promiscuity was associated with gay or bisexual men. Would like a sex education approach that is less factual and more dynamic to address 'more about what you actually do'.

title: Interview with Sarah, 20, White British, working class. Women, Risk and Aids Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version (Ref: MUR07)

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 a young woman (Sarah), aged 20, living in Manchester but originally from Glasgow. Described herself as working class. Her mother was Scottish, a psychologist, but died from cancer when she was 14. Her father left when she was 4, and is now remarried with 2 children (a boy and a girl, age 15 and 13). She was much closer to her mother, who she could talk to about her body, her rights, responsibilities, relationships. Moved out at 17 after working part-time and supporting stepmother in the home. Little family support academically/aspirationally, but did do Open University course and hopes to go to university as a mature student. She set up a women's group at her old school for 14-16yr olds from working class backgrounds, and appears very politically and socially aware. A lot of females in her peer group are now mothers, largely, she thinks, as a route out of the home in a culture where (female) education and ambition was 'frowned upon', reserved for the middle class. Moved to South Manchester at 18 and noted a huge social and aspirational divide between South and North Manchester - South more cosmopolitan. Sex education she received in high school was deemed poor and 'completely scientific'. Found public (sexual) health campaigns for AIDS and herpes fear-mongering, 'Victorian', ideological. First sexual experience was with another female at 13/14, and with a male was 16. Was already using the pill (to lighten her periods), but also used condoms. Very focused on and open about women's right to sexual pleasure, but recognised contradictions or difficulties between expectation and practice.

title: Interview with Lucy, 18-19, White British, middle class. Women, Risk and Aids Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version (Ref: MAG18SS)

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 an interview with a young woman from Huddersfield (Lucy). She was working as a dental nurse but is now back at college doing A levels in Sociology, English, English Literature and European Studies and hopes to go on to university to be an occupational therapist. Her parents divorced when she was 13 and she has an older sister (20), lives with her mum (Dad is in London). Felt her ex-boyfriend tried to pressure her into having sex (they first had intercourse when she was 15), and was romantically involved with a male friend who has now moved away. She has also had a sexual relationship with another male partner (her first serious boyfriend), and talked about pleasure (or a lack of) and using condoms with this partner. Most recently she had been 'going out with' a boy that she knew from college, who she slept with and decided to start taking 'the pill'. She is looking for a serious relationship rather than casual sex, but feels very self-conscious because of her braces. She talked about risk (mostly in relation to AIDS and HIV), but did not consider herself as at risk - though is worried about a friend who has had multiple sex partners but is not using barrier methods of contraception (like condoms). Thought double standards surrounding gender and sexual reputation were 'unfair', in that men are allowed to sleep around while women who do the same, or even carry their own condoms, are deemed 'slags'.

title: Interview with Grace, 18-19, White British, middle class. Women, Risk and Aids Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version (Ref: MCTAPE1)

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 an interview with a young woman (Grace) in sixth form – criticism of ‘traditional’/formal methods of Sex education in schools (eg. teacher embarrassment, no way to anonymously ask questions, too heavy focus on condoms and heteronormativity). Most of her sex education was gleaned from teen magazines eg. Just Seventeen. Didn’t agree with fear-mongering approach of AIDS education and campaigning. Worries about pregnancy within her peer group. Has had a boyfriend, but does not want sexual intercourse yet – very strong notions/awareness within herself of ideas around consent and pressure. Talked about sex as something that young people ‘do’ (seen as natural progression?) rather than to seek pleasure, experiment etc.
