Interview with Gina, 20 - 21, White British, working class, Roman Catholic. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version (Ref: NUR19)

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 Gina, who is training to be a nurse. She is a practicing Catholic, but does not feel her religious values impact her sexuality. Gina has had sexual relationships, and her first intercourse was with her boyfriend at age 15, which she felt a little bit pressured into. She felt some guilt toward this afterwards, mostly because sex before marriage goes against Catholic beliefs. They had been engaged to be married, but conflicting religious views between their families (he is a Jehovah's Witness) complicated their relationship. She has become much more aware of her own sexual pleasure in more recent relationships, but thought she would feel more in control when having more sexual experience than her partner - this is not the case at the moment, as she struggles with negotiating 'backlash' when declining her partner's sexual advances. She has used condoms inconsistently, and had been using the pill as her main method of contraception - she had considered the coil, but decided against it due to the risks involved. Gina had been quite worried when she first heard about AIDS, but did not consider herself as at risk and acknowledges herself as 'one of the million ignorant ones'. She had learnt about AIDS through television programmes, but thinks there is not enough attention about it in mainstream medias now. There has been no formal teaching on AIDS within her nursing training. Safe sex in the context of AIDS is recognised by Gina as using condoms, though she wouldn't carry her own as she feels there is stigma around promiscuity attached to them. Kids are on her agenda in the future, but she would like to establish her own career first. She isn't too interested in casual sex or one-night stands, but thinks this is largely due to her lack of body confidence. Risk is talked about through recreational activities, such as smoking, drinking and dieting.

本访谈隶属于1989—1990年开展的「女性、风险与艾滋病项目（Women, Risk and Aids Project）」档案库，该档案库亦是2018—2020年开展的「复苏数据项目（Reanimating Data Project）」的组成部分。
本转录稿对应访谈对象为正在接受护士培训的吉娜（Gina）。她是虔诚的天主教徒，但并不认为自身的宗教价值观会对其性行为产生影响。吉娜曾拥有多段性经历，首次性行为发生在15岁时，对象为其男友，她坦言当时略带被迫感，事后因此产生了些许愧疚，主要原因是婚前性行为违背了天主教教义。两人原本已订婚，但双方家庭的宗教信仰存在分歧（男方为耶和华见证人（Jehovah's Witness）信徒），这使得二人的关系变得复杂。
在近期的恋情中，吉娜对自身的性愉悦有了更深刻的认知，但她曾认为随着自身性经验多于伴侣，自己能在性关系中掌握更多主动权——然而目前事与愿违，她在拒绝伴侣的性邀约时，常常难以应对由此引发的「反弹」效应。她偶尔才会使用安全套（condom），长期以来主要以口服避孕药作为主要避孕手段；她曾考虑过宫内节育器，但因顾虑相关风险而放弃。
吉娜最初听闻艾滋病时曾颇为担忧，但并未将自己归为高危人群，并坦言自己是「数百万无知者之一」。她通过电视节目了解到艾滋病相关知识，但认为当前主流媒体对艾滋病的关注度已有所不足。她的护理培训课程中并未开设过艾滋病相关的正式教学内容。吉娜认为艾滋病背景下的安全性行为即使用安全套，但她不会随身携带安全套，因为觉得携带安全套会被贴上滥交的污名标签。
吉娜未来有生育计划，但希望先建立起自己的事业。她对随性性行为或一夜情并无太大兴趣，她认为这主要源于自身缺乏身体自信。她们还会通过吸烟、饮酒与节食这类休闲活动讨论相关健康风险。
