This is  especially significant in developing strategies for  protection against HIV\/AIDS. Here young adults'' sexual identity constructions within  the context of HIV\/AIDS are explored. The asymmetry  of  desire, agency and power within (hetero)sexual  relationships is delved into. It is argued that the  the dominance of heterosexual morality and gendered  power relations, as well as the perceived  transitional status of young adults, and the  limited social acceptance of teenage sexuality,  along with the forms of its regulation, have worked  together to constrain young adults in their  exploration of sexuality. In order for them to  challenge the balances of gendered power relations,  they have to transgress collectively held and  policed boundaries and risk becoming \"abnormal\"  or \"other\". It is argued that reconceptualisation  of identity as  a process that is negotiated, opens up the  possibilities of \"agency\" that are furtively  foreclosed by perspectives that position identity  categories as endowed or fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838349343\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn orientation to researching young adults' sexual identity constructions within the context of  HIV\/AIDS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838349343","offer_id":39469173833821,"sku":"9783838349343","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/24f8a2d2-c7fc-4af4-b85e-ce14bfb6b358.jpg?v=1775627579","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/teenage-sexual-identity-constructions-within-the-context-of-hiv-aids-von-shakila-reddy","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
