Interview with Jodie, 17, White British, middle class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version (Ref: AMD21)

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 Jodie, 17, who is at college. She has a twin sister and her parents are going through a divorce. She thinks her family life made her feel quite insecure and in need of attention, but she has since rebuilt her confidence by going out with friends and socialising with new people. She had been in a steady, heterosexual relationship, where she had her first sexual intercourse, but her partner cheated on her a lot, and she is now in the early stages of a relationship with someone else. Jodie has always felt guilt and regret around her sexual practices, especially when losing her virginity and any potential casual sexual encounters. She doesn't feel under any pressure and is confident in navigating sexual consent and boundaries. In terms of contraception use, she is adamant on using condoms, framed by fear of pregnancy and AIDS. Her parents are very open (her mum works in an abortion clinic), and she feels able to discuss sex, relationships and contraception with them. She did not receive any formal sex education at her private school and has relied on AIDS publicity and her parents for AIDS education. She doesn't consider herself as at risk as she uses condoms, but there was a time when she didn't use one, based on a perception of her sexual partner as 'health conscious' which she thought meant he would be free of STDs or infections. There are contradictions between her attitude toward safe-sex and her sexual practices.

本次访谈隶属于1989至1990年开展的女性、风险与艾滋病项目（Women, Risk and Aids Project）档案库，该档案库系2018至2020年数据活化项目（Reanimating Data Project）的组成部分。本内容为对17岁在读大学生朱迪（Jodie）的访谈原始转录稿。朱迪有一位孪生姐妹，父母正处于离婚过程中。她认为家庭生活曾让自己深感不安且渴望获得关注，但此后通过与友人结伴出行、结识新友社交，逐步重建了自信心。此前她曾处于一段稳定的异性恋亲密关系中，并在此期间完成了首次性行为，但伴侣多次对其不忠；如今她正处于与新对象交往的初期阶段。她始终对自己的性行为抱有愧疚与悔意，尤其是在首次失贞以及后续可能发生的随性性行为方面。她并未感受到任何压力，且对处理性同意与边界问题充满自信。在避孕措施方面，她坚决坚持使用安全套，这一选择源于对怀孕与艾滋病的恐惧。她的父母思想十分开明（母亲在堕胎诊所工作），因此她可以就性、亲密关系与避孕话题与父母展开讨论。她在就读的私立学校中并未接受过正规的性教育，有关艾滋病的知识均来自艾滋病公益宣传内容与父母的传授。她认为自己并未处于感染风险之中，因为自己始终坚持使用安全套；但曾有一段时间，她因认为性伴侣“注重健康”（即该伴侣不会携带性传播疾病（Sexually Transmitted Diseases，STDs）或其他感染）而未使用安全套。她对安全性行为的态度与自身性行为实践之间存在矛盾。
