My best friend and I know each other for over fifteen years. We still get together once a week. vs My best friend and I have know each other for over fifteen years. We still get together once a week.

The correct sentence is: 'My best friend and I have known each other for over fifteen years. We still get together once a week.' The verb 'know' should be in the past participle form 'known' to match the present perfect tense. 'Have known' is the correct construction to indicate an action that started in the past and continues up to the present.
