ABSTRACT
Individuals' perceptions of risk have implications for whether and how they engage with protective strategies. This study investigated how sexual risk; specifically HIV and pregnancy and responsibility for these risks were constructed in discussions across five groups of youth in KwaZulu-Natal; South Africa. The qualitative study used focus groups and interviews with a sample of 28 tertiary level students and 7 peri-urban youth. The constructions of risk intersected with raced and gendered narratives around sexual risk and responsibility. These constructions were used by the participants to assign and displace responsibility for the risks of HIV and pregnancy; rendering some groups immune to these risks. This constitutes a form of stigmatisation and also has implications for participants' prevention practices
