Answer to Case Study #2:Work with Mary
to come up with a strategy to protect herself. Explore the dynamics of
her relationship. What is the extent of the abuse she lives with? How
does she feel? Is leaving her husband an option? Does she think that her
husband would be willing to come to the clinic to speak to a counselor?
Explain the source of her infection, how to treat it, and how to use condoms
to prevent further infection. Give Mary a condom demonstration, and have
her practice putting a condom on a penis model. Discuss various strategies
for talking about condom use with her husband, if she thinks that it is
possible. Role play how she might broach the subject with her husband.
If female condoms are available in your area, discuss with Mary the possibility
of her using them.
