HIV Positive: The Hidden Courage of Ordinary People

A gripping book about living with HIV in Flanders Based on the prime time series of the same name on één. For their new prime time series on één, the makers of the acclaimed 'Doodgraag leven' followed five people with HIV. This book brings together their stories and combines them with the testimonies of seven other fellow sufferers. More than 13,000 Belgians are HIV-positive. Every day, three more are added. For fear of stigmatisation, they keep silent. Twelve of them break the silence and confront their environment. Their goal? To remove existing prejudices and show that they are people like you and me. The book and the TV series prove that a diagnosis does not mean the end. Because despite their difficult status, the witnesses are all positive-minded people who enjoy life, who fight for their future. With a foreword by Kobe Ilsen, presenter of the TV series 'HIV Positief'.
