Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr Botha. Your blood test results confirmed HIV, but with proper treatment your health can still stay strong for many decades to come.
Ai, dit is vreeslike nuus, suster. Ek het nooit gedink ek sou HIV kry nie. Sal ek nog 'n normale lewe kan hê?
Don't worry — antiretroviral medication taken daily can suppress the virus almost completely, so it usually won't be detectable in your blood at all.
Sal die medisyne baie kos, en gaan dit my siek maak, soos naarheid of aanhoudende moegheid elke dag?
The clinic at Flinders Medical Centre provides the medication free through the PBS scheme, and most patients find the side effects fairly mild.
Dit stel my gerus. Maar moet ek regtig vir my vrou sê? Ek is bang sy sal my verlaat as sy uitvind.
If you don't disclose your HIV status to sexual partners, you risk transmitting the virus unknowingly, so we strongly encourage having that open conversation.
En my werk? Sal my baas kan uitvind, en my afdank as hulle hoor ek het HIV?
Your employer cannot legally discriminate against you for having HIV, and under privacy law your medical information stays completely confidential.
Dit is 'n groot verligting om te hoor. Wanneer moet ek terugkom vir die volgende bloedtoets, suster?
Please come back in exactly three weeks for a follow-up blood test to check your viral load and CD4 count.
Dankie, suster. Dit help regtig om te weet ek kan steeds 'n goeie lewe hê. Ek sal beslis oor drie weke terugkom.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- pbsSê 'PBS' soos in Engels en verduidelik kortliks as 'die regering se subsidieskema vir medisyne' indien nodig; daar is geen aanvaarde Afrikaanse akroniem nie.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
