Don’t Make Assumptions
As you can see, we can’t assume much looking through a narrow window into someone’s sexual behavior. The main thing to remember is that we need to keep our own assumptions in check, otherwise we risk making it more difficult for clients to tell us what they’re doing.
We don’t have to know everything there is to know about sex in order to do HIV counseling. We do, however, need to know some of the basic approaches people use to prevent contracting the virus.
