Yes, hello.
Ah, sweetheart, how are you?
I'm just on my way to do a television interview. OK?
No, I'm afraid I'll be home late this evening. OK? Bye.
Sorry about that. It was my wife.
That's OK. Good morning, Dr. Kambou.
Morning.
Fatoumata Kamara, Africa Television. You feel OK?
Fine!
OK. We've got to hurry because the interview's due to start right away.
OK. No problem.
Thank you.
OK, all set. He's nearly ready. He's just coming.
Anna?
Fanta! It's all right. He's ready now.
Morning, Dr. Kambou! How are you?
Fine.
Thank you for coming.
Stand by. Microphone please.
Morning, Sir.
Camera ready?
All set!
Sound ready!
You, Fatoumata?
Good to go!
OK. Camera!
Running!
We are coming to you live from the gardens of the Conference Centre,
where an international colloquium on ***/AIDS is about to begin.
Dr. Kambou, good morning.
You're an expert on AIDS and this morning, you chair the committee that coordinates this colloquium.
Please could you begin by telling us what the main topics on the agenda are going to be?
Thank you very much. Our debates will focus on the following topics:
research in biomedicine, communication on means of prevention, and uhhh
hostesses, and the girls, the girls.
Excuse me, Doctor?
Well, ah, huuuh. Yes, those are the main items on the agenda.
As to communication on means of prevention,
do you feel that there are messages that need to be conveyed more effectively?
In other words, do some messages not get over to people sufficiently?
Studies demonstrate that, eh, fidelity ... the question of fidelity is difficult still, huhhh.
Many people maintain that fidelity is their chosen means of prevention against ***/AIDS,
but they can have difficulty overcoming certain challenges in everyday life, uhhh.
Doctor?
Yes?
Are you alright?
Of course, please continue.
Well, what exactly are the challenges you referred to concerning fidelity?
Well you see, being faithful to one's partner all the time is an exercise in self-control.
You have to have the strength of character to say NO to temptation.
Each of us should stop and think
in order to produce a personalized strategy, to cope with these challenges. Oooh!
Doctor, do you have a final comment?
Yes. Fidelity observed in a couple helps protect our families against AIDS,
to help ensure that our babies aren't born with ***.
Each of us must learn to behave responsibly. It's a question of your strength of character.
There! Good bye!
Cut it!
Good bye! Ohhh!
Hello, sweetheart, listen. It's me! There's a problem.
I have to return home straight away. Yes. I really need to see you. OK?
Dr. Kambou!!
Get away! Come on. Let's get out of here!
Dr. Kambou, please come back!
Come on! Let's go. Take off. Step on it!
Our thanks to Doctor Kambou, who is indeed an expert in his field.
The message of Dr. Kambou is very clear:
he tells us in today's world we face AIDS and temptation,
and because of this we should each put into practice a personal strategy for the prevention of ***/AIDS.
Fatou Kamara, Africa Television. Back to the studio.
