title: Interview with Laura, 20 - 21, White British, middle class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version including fieldnotes (Ref: MAN09)

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 Laura from Leeds, who is doing Maths and Physics at university. She feels she is not taken seriously enough as a woman within the science field, and was also critical of gendered subjects at her high school. Her parents (mum and dad) have always been encouraging and supportive of Laura pursuing a career in science. The only sex education she received in high school was in a biology lesson, which mainly covered pregnancy and childbirth, but briefly touched upon contraception. Her sixth form provided discussion-based sex education, but it wasn't very engaging. Her mum had spoken to her about periods, but her friends didn't really talk about sex at all. There was a lot of pressure at school to be in a relationship or have had sex, especially in sixth form. There was an assumption in her peer group that girls who identified or were seen as intelligent couldn't also be fanciable, or sexual. Laura has done some travelling in her gap year, working in London and Spain and backpacking through India. This is where she first had sex, with a man she met there - they were both virgins at the time, she felt quite relaxed and they used condoms. She also uses a diaphragm, which she got from a family planning clinic. She has had a few (sexual) relationships since; one with someone younger and less experienced than her, where she felt she had more control. In her current relationship, with an older man, she feels she has less control and can be quite vulnerable. This is at odds with some of her feminist values, and she noted that there is conflict between how she sees herself and how she acts. She learnt about AIDS through TV programmes, and has taken a political stance on it - she recognises an underlying political agenda in government propaganda that attempts to promote heterosexuality and family values while restricting female sexual freedom - something that is important to her. She is quite involved in Marxist politics, but finds it difficult to seperate and discuss the personal, rather than political, aspects of AIDS. She considers herself as at risk, but sees safe-sex as using condoms and limiting sexual partners.

title: Interview with Stacey, 20 - 21, White British, working class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version including fieldnotes (Ref: MAG12)

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 Stacey, who is completing a science degree. She comes from a working class background, and has had a difficult family life, especially concerning her relationship with her mother. Her mum has quite negative attitudes towards sex and believes that it is 'all that men want women for', so there was no positive talk around sexuality and relationships at home. Stacey has had a couple of boyfriends, but is now engaged to her male partner who she met in sixth form - she finds it difficult to trust him, due to her home life and past relationships. A previous partner was an alcoholic who tried to sexually assault her. She notes that there was pressure at school to find a partner, and there was a divide between the popular crowd and those who worked hard in relation to who was considered attractive. She learnt about sex and relationships largely through teen girl and women's magazines, and had no formal sex education at school - the (male) teacher was too embarrassed, but she does remember watching one film which could be about sexual consent. She would have liked more comprehensive sex education that talked about navigating sexual relationships. There was one girl at school that had been labelled a 'slag', but Stacey still thought was a nice girl, despite her reputation and expression of sexual freedom. Stacey thinks that a lot of her friends were sexually active, but that no one openly discussed it - Stacey was quite surprised when she got to university and discovered her female friends were having casual sex and were fairly open about it. She had her first sexual debut at 18 with a boyfriend at the time, but felt she had a very passive role in this sexual relationship (though she is much more aware of her own sexual pleasure now). They used condoms, as she was worried about pregnancy. She couldn't imagine having a casual sexual relationship. Stacey didn't hear about AIDS until her first year of university, but had seen some adverts on TV, and initially thought it was reserved for drug users and gay men (especially American ones) - this was supported by her gay male landlords promiscuous sexual behaviour. She does recognise that her landlord gave her a 'distorted' view of (male) homosexuality, and does not believe that he represents all gay men. Stacey doesn't think that her or her friends are at risk and most of her friends use the pill, rather than condoms - she associates condoms with being young and juvenile. She does consider safe-sex to be sex with condoms in the context of AIDS protection, and limiting numbers of sexual partners.

title: Interview with Carol, 20, White British, working class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version (Ref: NUR06)

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 Carol, 20, who is training to be a nurse. She has had some long- and short- term heterosexual relationships, but feels she is too old to be dating anymore, and that perhaps she is 'very choosy'. She often finds herself disappointed, as she tends to have unrealistic expectations of potential partners. She feels she wouldn't be too bothered if she never had a relationship again, but would like to have children at some point. A previous partner had been violent and abusive towards her, and had raped her. Carol thinks this experience has changed her outlook on sex and relationships in that she is less likely to trust others, but it has made her more aware of others who may be vulnerable, misogyny, and victim-blaming attitudes that are prevalent in society. She has learnt a lot about AIDS through her nursing, but doesn't think public health campaigning is doing enough to express the significance of AIDS protection and awareness, other than creating initial mass hysteria. She does think that advertisements have been good, though, as they are 'quite realistic', but should do more to target low-risk groups than perceived high-risk groups. She would like to think she would protect herself sexually in any future relationships, but would be too embarrassed to carry condoms or to initiate discussions around protection.

title: Interview with Valerie, 16, White British, working class, Roman Catholic. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version including fieldnotes (Ref: AYC21)

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 Valerie, 16, who is working as a sales assistant through a YTS. She found college incredibly dull and monotonous, but would like to retrain as an air hostess when she's 18. Her school provided sex education through PSE lessons, in mixed sex groups, covering AIDS, contraception and heterosexual relationships, but they had not talked about STI's - she doesn't seem too worried about them. She also acknowledges sex and relationships information she gained through friends and her parents, who are both quite open. AIDS education through school covered AIDS transmission, and she learnt to use condoms and not share needles to protect against AIDS. She had seen some of the TV programmes about AIDS, which she thinks weren't too serious, but showed changing attitudes around women's sexuality and condom use. Attitudes towards virginity and pressure at her school are varied, and seems to be linked with popularity or status within peer groups. She is having sex with her current partner, who is the only person she has slept with. They use condoms, but to protect against pregnancy rather than AIDS. Her boyfriend doesn't like using condoms, and she is considering using the pill instead - she would go to her doctor rather than a family planning clinic, as it would offer more privacy. She considers condom use to be both her and a partner's responsibility, but would not feel comfortable carrying her own condoms in the future for casual sexual encounters. Valerie doesn't think she is at risk of AIDS, as she isn't aware of anyone she knows having contracted it, but if she did then this would change her view on risk.

title: Interview with Dawn, 16 - 17, White British, working class, Protestant. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version including fieldnotes (Ref: MBS15)

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 Dawn, who is completing her GCSE's and would like to go on to do community care at college. An only child, she lives at home with her mum and stepdad, who are quite strict and overprotective. Both parents are unemployed. She has plans to move out with her best friend, but would like to stay close to her family. Dawn has had one serious boyfriend, though the relationship only lasted a few weeks. This is the first person she had sexual intercourse with, mostly because she was 'curious', but she had been worried about getting a 'reputation', and had had other sexual relationships in the past. He broke up with her shortly afterwards which made her feel a bit used - she thinks everybody is only after one thing. They were both happy to use a condom, but Dawn made her friend go and buy the condoms for her. Condom use was largely to prevent pregnancy, rather than any worries around AIDS. She had seen AIDS campaigning on TV and found this 'interesting, helpful'. She didn't get much sex education at school, and learnt about contraception through reading leaflets at the doctors.
