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 Sam and Jess. Both are single at the moment and have had sexual relationships in the past. They both believe that AIDS awareness campaigns are relevant to them, but they're not sure how they would negotiate a conversation about it with a sexual partner - they are more worried about pregnancy. They have some interesting thoughts on the expectation and reality of sexual relationships, and think there should be much more opportunity for female sexual pleasure. Sex education was mainly from the playground or from older siblings - formal sex education from school came much too late, and they would have liked to have covered more of the emotional aspects of sex and had more open conversations around masturbation.
