Interview with Tonya, 16 - 17, Caribbean, working class. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Anonymised version including fieldnotes (Ref: AMB18)

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 Tonya, who is at college and works as a part-time hairdresser. She lives with her parents, who are very strict, and lots of siblings (mainly brothers). She thinks her parents are stricter than her those of her ('half cast') friends, due to familial and cultural differences. She brings up AIDS without being prompted, in the context of risk and safety - she is very frightened of it after hearing about it at school and on TV. Tonya does not want a sexual relationship at the moment, but had had intercourse with her first boyfriend after five months of seeing each other - he has now moved away, so they are no longer together. They did not use contraception throughout their sexual relationship, as he did not want to wear one. She would go on the pill in the future, as she thinks most men do not like using condoms, but is aware that this puts her at risk of AIDS transmission and that the pill carries its own health risks. Tonya feels that contraception use is the responsibility of the female within heterosexual sexual relationships. Her formal sex education at school, in Biology, covered topics such as periods, condoms, contraceptives and sexually transmitted diseases. She understands safe-sex (in terms of AIDS) as using a condom, but did not seem to be aware of oral sex, especially as a form of safe-sex - she thinks oral sex would be disgusting.

本访谈收录于1989-90年间的女性、风险与艾滋病项目（Women, Risk and Aids Project）档案中，该档案是作为重激活数据项目（Reanimating Data Project，2018-20）的一部分而创建。访谈对象为Tonya，她目前就读于大学，并兼职担任发型师。她与父母同住，父母对其管教甚严，并有众多兄弟姐妹（主要是兄弟）。她认为，由于家庭和文化差异，父母对她的管教比她那些（半血缘）朋友的父母更为严格。在未被提示的情况下，她提到了艾滋病，这是在讨论风险与安全时的情况——她在学校及电视上了解到艾滋病后深感恐惧。Tonya目前不想建立性关系，但曾在与第一任男友相识五个月后发生性行为——他现已搬离，因此他们已不再在一起。在他们之间的性关系中，他们没有使用避孕措施，因为他不想使用避孕套。她计划未来服用避孕药，因为她认为大多数男性不喜欢使用避孕套，但同时也意识到这会使她面临艾滋病传播的风险，并且避孕药本身也具有一定的健康风险。Tonya认为，在异性性关系中，避孕措施的使用是女性的责任。她在学校的生物课程中的正式性教育涵盖了诸如月经、避孕套、避孕药和性传播疾病等主题。她理解安全性行为（就艾滋病而言）是使用避孕套，但似乎并未意识到口交作为一种安全性行为的方式——她认为口交会令人厌恶。
