'We pretend it's not about the type of sex'
Elizabeth Pisani seems an unlikely Aids expert. Relaxed and nattily attired, with stray curls shading her eyes from the afternoon sun, she looks more like Juliette Binoche with a movie to promote than an epidemiologist with some harsh home truths. I can't imagine her wearing latex gloves.
How can we be sure our daughters will cope with this burglary ordeal?
I'm 27, the mother of two daughters aged seven and nine. Last Saturday, my husband took our children out shopping while I went to my regular gym session. When I returned home I was accosted by two burglars, who said they wouldn't hurt me, but would have to tie me up. That sent a quiver through me, but I'm very fit and agile and I thought I'd be able to get free quickly.
