Module 6: HIV, Drugs, and Injection Drug Use, Screen 10 of 14
Ingrid Asks Laurie to Explain
Laurie: Well, I have sex with my boyfriend. Sometimes I also have sex with guys to get money. I don’t really like it, but it pays the bills, if you know what I mean.Ingrid: Tell me about that.
Laurie: Well, dope is expensive. When me and my boyfriend are desperate, I’ll give a hand job or a blow job for 20 bucks. But I don’t let them go inside me. I only do that with my boyfriend.
Ingrid: So you don’t let guys go inside your vagina or ass, if I understand you right. Laurie: That’s right.
Ingrid: How do you and your boyfriend feel about condoms?
Laurie: He’s not into using condoms. But I tell him not to come inside me and usually he doesn’t.
Ingrid: Not coming inside does lower the risk for HIV. Not as much as condoms, though. Has your boyfriend been tested for HIV?
