Interview with Claire, 18-19, White British, lower middle class, no religion. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, London, 1990. Anonymised version including field notes. (Ref: LJH40)

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 Claire, who works for a trade union and is involved with socialism and left-wing politics. She has been with her current boyfriend for around two years, and is the first person she has had penetrative sex with (though she had had other sexual relationships in the past) and talks about why she made this decision. Claire seems to be the more dominant one in this relationship and holds more control, though she had been pressured into performing oral sex on him. Otherwise, she is rather enjoying the sexual aspects of their relationship - she comes across as quite confident and knowing in this area, and has some funny anecdotes to tell. They'd started out using condoms, but Claire is now on the pill as her boyfriend didn't like them. She isn't too worried about STDs or AIDS, though if she accidentally fell pregnant anytime soon she would likely have an abortion. Her sex education at school was very basic and biological, and AIDS education was through the media. Claire thinks that girls are more informed on sex education generally than boys, especially with regard to disease, but thinks this is more to do with gendered social norms that allow girls to talk more openly about sex and relationships. She also learnt a lot through the advice columns in teen girl magazines.

本访谈是《女性、风险与艾滋病项目》（1989-1990）档案的一部分，该档案是《数据复活项目》（2018-2020）的组成部分。<br>克莱尔（Claire）的匿名访谈转录本（transcript）：她任职于某工会，且参与社会主义及左翼政治活动。她与现任男友交往约两年，男友是她首位发生插入式性行为（penetrative sex）的对象（尽管她过去有过其他性关系），并谈及做出这一决定的原因。克莱尔在这段关系中似乎更具主导性，掌控力更强，不过她曾被迫为男友进行口交。除此之外，她相当享受两人关系中的性层面——她在这方面显得自信且有主见，还分享了一些有趣的轶事。两人起初使用避孕套，但因男友不喜，克莱尔目前改为服用避孕药。她不太担心性传播疾病（STDs）或艾滋病（AIDS），不过若近期意外怀孕，她大概率会选择堕胎。她在学校接受的性教育非常基础且偏向生物学层面，而艾滋病教育则来自媒体。克莱尔认为，总体而言女孩比男孩接受的性教育更充分，尤其在疾病方面，但她觉得这更多与性别化社会规范有关——这类规范允许女孩更开放地谈论性与关系。她还通过少女杂志的建议专栏（advice columns）学到了很多。
