Fundación Huésped is an Argentinian organization with regional scope that has been working in public health since 1989, aiming to guarantee access to health and control of diseases. With a focus on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, COVID-19, diseases preventable by vaccines and other transmissible diseases such as dengue and zika, as well as sexual and reproductive health, our main approach includes researching and developing practical solutions related to public health policies in our country and region. We also carry out mass-media, innovative and high-impact communication and prevention actions through a constant presence in media and social networks.
Gastón Devisich is the Community Engagement Coordinator at Fundación Huésped, an organization member of Coalition Plus, where, he serves as the liaison between gay, bisexual and other men having sex with men and the projects implemented by the organization, especially in regards to scientific research. He is in charge of catalyzing emerging demands from the community that could lead to the design of new interventions, reporting back to the community with scientific updates and promoting meaningful participation of the communities in HIV Research & Development. Gastón began his service to the community being a peer-support group facilitator and peer-educator for the Argentinean Network of Young People and Adolescents Living with HIV (RAJAP). He became a long-time member of the organization’s committee after having been elected as the Coordinator of the ART Adherence Area and the Institutional Development Area, which he also co-created.
