Interview with Dawn, 16 - 17, White British, working class, Protestant. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version including fieldnotes (Ref: MBS15)

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 Dawn, who is completing her GCSE's and would like to go on to do community care at college. An only child, she lives at home with her mum and stepdad, who are quite strict and overprotective. Both parents are unemployed. She has plans to move out with her best friend, but would like to stay close to her family. Dawn has had one serious boyfriend, though the relationship only lasted a few weeks. This is the first person she had sexual intercourse with, mostly because she was 'curious', but she had been worried about getting a 'reputation', and had had other sexual relationships in the past. He broke up with her shortly afterwards which made her feel a bit used - she thinks everybody is only after one thing. They were both happy to use a condom, but Dawn made her friend go and buy the condoms for her. Condom use was largely to prevent pregnancy, rather than any worries around AIDS. She had seen AIDS campaigning on TV and found this 'interesting, helpful'. She didn't get much sex education at school, and learnt about contraception through reading leaflets at the doctors.

本次访谈收录于《女性、风险与艾滋病项目》（Women, Risk and Aids Project，1989-1990）的档案库，该档案库系《活化数据项目》（Reanimating Data Project，2018-2020）的组成部分。<br>本访谈为与道恩（Dawn）的原始访谈转录稿：道恩当时正在备考普通中等教育证书（GCSE），计划后续在高校攻读社区护理专业。她是独生女，与母亲和继父同住家中，父母管教严格且过度保护，二人皆处于失业状态。道恩计划与挚友搬离原生家庭，但仍希望与家人保持紧密联系。道恩曾有一段正式的恋爱关系，仅维持数周，这是她首次发生性行为，主要动机是出于“好奇”，但她曾担忧会因此背负“名声”问题，过往其实另有其他性经历。男友随后不久便与其分手，这让她感觉自己像是被利用了——她认为所有人都只是为了达到某一目的。二人都愿意使用安全套，但道恩让男友前去购买安全套。当时她们使用安全套主要是为了避孕，而非出于对艾滋病的担忧。她曾在电视上看到过艾滋病宣传活动，认为这些宣传“有趣且有益”。她在学校几乎未接受过系统性性教育，而是通过在诊所阅读宣传手册了解到避孕知识。
