00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:03.410
<v ->I guess I would just encourage</v>

2
00:00:03.410 --> 00:00:05.905
somebody who's engaging in a higher risk

3
00:00:05.905 --> 00:00:10.905
how can I help you to manage a small step

4
00:00:12.430 --> 00:00:14.630
that would maybe reduce your risk

5
00:00:14.630 --> 00:00:16.850
as opposed to eliminating it.

6
00:00:16.850 --> 00:00:18.770
Oftentimes when somebody wants to engage

7
00:00:18.770 --> 00:00:22.180
in a high risk behavior, you're not gonna stop them

8
00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:25.267
and to just say, "Don't do it," or, "Be abstinent,"

9
00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:29.710
in my mind that's a ridiculous statement.

10
00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:32.870
It places a value judgment on somebody.

11
00:00:32.870 --> 00:00:35.277
So I would encourage the individual and say,

12
00:00:35.277 --> 00:00:38.907
"Is there any small way we could get you to reduce"

13
00:00:38.907 --> 00:00:41.087
"the risk you're engaging in"

14
00:00:41.087 --> 00:00:46.087
"so that you have a chance of not becoming infected?"

15
00:00:47.090 --> 00:00:49.091
Because a lot of times when people

16
00:00:49.091 --> 00:00:50.591
are engaging in risk behaviors

17
00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:54.130
it's gonna take awhile before they learn how to

18
00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:56.977
not to engage in those risk behaviors.

19
00:00:56.977 --> 00:01:00.073
Most people don't do it over night, so.

20
00:01:02.010 --> 00:01:02.843
Yeah.
