Henrique has had HIV for three years. Ian has just tested positive. Victor got with Henrique last night and thinks he might have it. Ian, Victor and Henrique must navigate treatment, friendship and love, and eventually learn to trust each other. Because with judgement and ignorance lurking round every corner, the real challenge isn't the disease - it's other people. Brazilian author Lucas Rocha unveils the common misconceptions and prejudices that still surround HIV in the twenty-first century, showing how far we've come while shining a light on just how far we have yet to go.
Lucas Rocha is a librarian with a Masters in Information Science from Fluminense Federal University. Some of his short stories have been published in print and digital anthologies, in particular The Other Side of Town and All the Colours of Christmas. Where We Go From Here is his first novel.
