Interview with Kirsty, 20-21, British, lower middle class, no religion. Women, Risk and AIDS Project, London, 1989. Original version including field notes. (Ref: LJH34)

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 Kirsty, who works in finance and is training to be a company administrator. She has been in a turbulent on-and-off again relationship for a few years, which had some domestic violence involved. This was a sexual relationship, and though they had been using condoms Kirsty was not allowed to get the pill at the time without her mother's permission and fell pregnant, resulting in a quite harrowing miscarriage. She had already decided to have an abortion as she didn't think they would be able to support themselves, but still feels a lot of shame around this. Kirsty has had several sexual relationships since, and feels incredibly lonely and depressed when she doesn't have anyone around. Sex education at her school was very limited, and most of her knowledge has been gained through reading books. AIDS education has come from TV programmes and her cousin who is gay.

本访谈为与柯丝蒂（Kirsty）的原始访谈记录，柯丝蒂就职于金融行业，目前正在接受企业行政管理人员的培训。数年来，她始终处于一段分分合合、充满动荡的亲密关系中，这段关系曾伴随家庭暴力行为。二人曾有性行为，尽管全程使用安全套，但柯丝蒂当时未经母亲许可无法获取口服避孕药，最终意外怀孕，随后经历了一场令人心碎的流产。此前她已决定终止妊娠，因她认为二人无力承担养育孩子的责任，但时至今日，她仍对此事抱有强烈的羞耻感。此后柯丝蒂又经历了数段亲密关系，每当孤身一人时，她便会陷入极度的孤独与抑郁情绪之中。她在校期间接受的性教育极为有限，大部分性知识均来自课外阅读；而关于艾滋病的相关知识，则来源于电视节目与她那位同性恋表亲。
