Franz and Martin have been best friends for over 30 years. One thing connects them deeply: both contracted HIV during the epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. Today, in later life, they look back together on their journey — on the challenges they have overcome and on how their friendship helped them live with HIV. As part of the first generation to live long-term with the virus, they offer a unique insight into the will to survive, resilience, and the profound importance of human closeness and friendship.
