Interview with Mia, 16-17, Caribbean, working class, Christian. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, London, 1989. Anonymised version including field notes. (Ref: LSFS22)

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 an interview with Mia, who is doing business studies at the moment and would like to go into sports management. Her sex education at secondary school was fairly limited, and mainly taught through science lessons, but it did briefly touch on AIDS. She thinks her teachers were too embarrassed to offer more than the basics. Mia hasn't had any sexual relationships yet, but has had a couple of romantic relationships. She hopes that her first sexual experience will be out of love, rather than for the sake of it or to get it over and done with, and would like marriage and children in the future, but not until she has completed her education.
