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).Anonymised transcript of an interview with Toni, who plans to complete her A-Levels and go on to do a degree in law. She has been with her current boyfriend for about a year, and they hope to get engaged soon - she doesn't want children anytime soon, though. Toni found her formal sex education at school more useful than what she had picked up through the media, and she is still a little confused about AIDS transmission. The public health campaigns have scared her, but she's not sure what she's meant to be scared of. She has some interesting thoughts about gender and traditional values, and thinks that to combat misogyny it should be tackled at a young age.
