BBE Ask the Experts

Join us once a month as we host clinicians, educators, community members, activists and other experts to present and facilitate a discussion about their work. We learn about HIV and sexually-transmitted infections (STIs), nutrition, mental health, harm reduction and more.

Ask the Experts offers you the opportunity to ask questions that are answered directly by professionals who specialize in a specific area on topics that influence your life. Our experts may also ask you some questions, to help better understand your concerns and get you the answers you need.

This event is hosted by Black Brothers Esteem (BBE), a psychosocial support program for African American men who have sex with men, and gay or bisexual, gender variant, and same-gender loving men who are at risk for HIV transmission.

BBE brings together men who are interested in sharing their stories, exchanging ideas, and uplifting one another.
