More than a platform, this is a movement—for Black gay, bisexual, and same-gender-loving men, and all who walk with us. Together we heal, connect, and reimagine wellness. Together we move toward zero stigma, zero shame, and zero new HIV infections.
Step in. You’re part of this story.
We Are the Circle
Getting to Zero Is About More Than Just Shots in Arms…
Getting to zero is bigger than healthcare—it’s about healing.
It’s about showing up with support, love, and power.
In the ChiWellness Circle, getting to zero means standing together—week after week, story after story, class after class—until zero stigma, zero shame, and zero new HIV infections are our reality.

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 partner. Together, we are 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.
