Full transcript
Thank you for coming back in today, Mr. Rao — I have your test results and I'd like to talk through them with you now.
ಸರಿ ಮೇಡಂ, ಆದರೆ ನಾನು ತುಂಬಾ ಭಯದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಫಲಿತಾಂಶ ಏನಾಗಿದೆ?
Mr. Rao, your test has come back positive for HIV. I know this is difficult news, but with daily medication, this is a manageable chronic condition.
ಅಯ್ಯೋ... ನನಗೆ ನಂಬೋಕೆ ಆಗ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾವು ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಟೆಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿಸಬೇಕಾ? ನನ್ನ ಪತ್ನಿಗೆ ಇದನ್ನ ಹೇಗೆ ಹೇಳಲಿ?
Yes, your wife should be tested as soon as possible; we can arrange that here at the clinic. I can also support you in planning how to tell her.
ಸರಿ ಮೇಡಂ, ಧನ್ಯವಾದ. ಅವಳು ಎಷ್ಟು ಬೇಗ ಟೆಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿಸಬೇಕು? ಇವತ್ತೇ ಸಾಧ್ಯನಾ?
She can come in for a confidential test at Sydney Sexual Health Centre within the next seven days; Medicare will cover the cost of her visit.
ಹೌದಾ? ಔಷಧಿ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡರೆ ವೈರಸ್ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾ? ಅಥವಾ ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಹರಡುವ ಅಪಾಯ ಇದ್ಯಾ?
If you take your medication every day, your viral load can become undetectable, meaning you cannot pass the virus to your wife through sex.
ಅಬ್ಬಾ, ಸಮಾಧಾನ ಆಯ್ತು ಮೇಡಂ. ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಎಷ್ಟು ಮಾತ್ರೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು?
It's just one tablet a day. We'll book a follow-up appointment in four weeks to check how your body is responding to treatment.
ಸರಿ ಮೇಡಂ, ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿದೆ. ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಪತ್ನಿಯನ್ನೂ ಕರೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಬರ್ತೀನಿ.
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.
- medicare'Medicare' ಎಂಬ ಪದವನ್ನು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಷ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಬೇಕು, ಇದು ಒಂದು ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಯೋಜನೆಯ ಹೆಸರು.
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.
