Description
Three years ago, Henrique was diagnosed with HIV. Now, his friend Ian has just received the same diagnosis. When Victor, who had been out with them the night before, starts to worry that he might have it too, the three friends must navigate treatment, friendship and love in a world where judgement and ignorance can be overwhelming.
Lucas Rocha's powerful novel shines a light on the common misconceptions and prejudices surrounding HIV, highlighting both how far we've come and just how much work remains to be done. Through their journey, he shows that the real challenge lies not with the disease itself, but with the people around us.
This moving story is a testament to the strength of human connection and the importance of understanding and empathy in overcoming even the toughest challenges.
