Full transcript
Thanks for coming back to Sydney Sexual Health Centre today, Marco. I have your test results here, so let's go through what they mean together.
Va bene, Infermiera. Sono un po' nervoso, ad essere sincero. Cosa dicono i risultati?
Your HIV test has come back positive, Marco. I know this is a lot to take in right now, but treatment today is very effective and manageable.
Capisco... è una notizia pesante da digerire. Ma volevo chiederle: i farmaci sono coperti dal sistema sanitario, o devo pagare tutto io?
Yes, they're covered — antiretroviral medication is subsidised through the PBS here in Australia, so you won't need to pay the full price out of pocket.
Che sollievo sentirlo, Infermiera. Devo prendere la medicina tutti i giorni, allora? Ho paura di dimenticarmene qualche volta.
Yes, one tablet every day, ideally at the same time. If you skip doses often, though, the virus can become resistant to the medication.
Va bene, cercherò di essere puntuale. E dopo quanto tempo dovrò fare un altro controllo per vedere se la cura sta funzionando?
We'll book a follow-up blood test in two weeks to check your viral load, then continue monitoring every three months after that.
D'accordo, grazie. Un'altra cosa mi preoccupa: i miei dati rimarranno riservati? Non vorrei che il mio datore di lavoro lo venisse a sapere.
Your results stay completely confidential, Marco — we won't share them with your employer or anyone else without your written consent, ever.
Grazie mille, Infermiera. Mi sento più tranquillo adesso. Tornerò tra due settimane per l'esame del sangue, come mi ha detto.
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.
- pbsSi mantiene la sigla inglese 'PBS', eventualmente specificando 'lo schema governativo che sussidia i farmaci'.
- out of pocketSi traduce con 'spese a proprio carico' o 'di tasca propria'.
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.
