Synopsis
The film follows a young filmmaker as she goes to a blood bank to have an AIDS test, while she reflects in a stream-of-consciousness style on her own sex life. She interviews a doctor at the blood bank. The film also follows the AIDS prevention group 'Aidsgesprchskreises' (English: 'AIDS discussion circle') at a disco as they discuss AIDS prevention and shows the ignorance and embarrassment of some young people about the disease. An AIDS expert explains how the disease is transmitted via exchange of body fluids and clarifies that it is not a "gay disease". The film also interviews an anonymous young man who had recently tested positive and discusses his initial shock and emotions.'Liebe ohne Angst' on the [https://www.dhmd.de/emuseum/eMuseumPlus Deutsches Hygiene-Museum. eMuseum database].
