A movement for Black gay, bisexual, and same-gender-loving men — and those who walk with us — to heal, connect, and lead the charge toward zero stigma, zero shame, and zero new HIV infections by 2030.
“We Are the Circle”
Getting to Zero Is About More Than Just Shots in Arms…
Getting to zero is about more than just healthcare — it’s about healing.
It’s about support, community, love, and power.
And in the ChiWellness Circle, getting to zero means
showing up for ourselves and each other — every single day.
About the Movement
The ChiWellness Circle is more than an initiative — it’s a movement.
A healing space. A cultural shift. A new path toward care, connection, and community for Black gay, bisexual, and same-gender-loving men — and those who walk with us.
We are a collaboration of six Black gay-led organizations and one ally organization, and together, we’re redefining what wellness looks like, and building a future where stigma, shame, and HIV are left behind.
Our goal is clear:
Zero stigma. Zero shame. Zero new HIV infections by 2030.
