Your marriage has ended after 18 years and you are starting to date again. Your friends tell you that your male partners should be using condoms. You re becoming intimate with a man you ve met, but you re afraid you might lose him if you start to talk about condoms. The man you re going out with shows you his negative HIV test result and asks you to have sex without a condom. It is also a good way to handle and learn about condoms without the fear of making a mistake.
Participants can each have their own banana or zucchini to practise using condoms.
If not, go over any other information that the participant wants or direct her to other resources that may help her. Discuss next steps . Discuss any other opportunities the women may want to discuss or revisit any of these issues. If participants are afraid to discuss safer sex with their partners because it could lead to violence or rejection, refer them to an organization that specializes in domestic violence and will provide a mediator or help them get out of the relationship safely. Distribute the information and resource list you prepared before the meeting.
