From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Antón Castellanos Usigli, is a public health professional and a recognized innovator in the field of sexual health and HIV/STI prevention. He currently sits on the Global Advisory Board for Sexual Health and Wellbeing.[1] and on the National Board of Directors of PFLAG [2].

Early life and education[edit]

Castellanos Usigli was born in Mexico City and raised in Cuernavaca, Mexico within a family of recognized artists and intellectuals. His father, Antonio Castellanos Basich, is an acclaimed Mexican sculptor. His mother, Lavinia Usigli Casas, is the daughter of Rodolfo Usigli, who was a prominent playwright and diplomat. Julio Castellanos, a Mexican painter, was his paternal grandfather.

He began his career in sexual health by organizing the first sex education conference of Cuernavaca, Mexico when he was just 19 years old [3]. Subsequently, he established the Youth Initiative Committee [4] at the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS).

Castellanos Usigli received a Bachelors in Psychology from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and subsequently moved to New York City to pursue a Masters of Public Health (MPH) at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. He currently is a Doctor of Public Health candidate at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Innovative work in sexual health[edit]

In 2015, Antón began working at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where he served as Director of HIV Prevention Programs. At Wyckoff, Castellanos Usigli created a unique and innovative peer-led online outreach strategy to invite men who have sex with men (MSM) to access sexual health services through geosocial networking and online dating apps, such as Grindr. This strategy has resulted in hundreds of gay, bisexual and trans clients coming to Wyckoff for sexual health services and has been featured by The Guardian [5], VOX [6] and NBC [7].

Along with other experts from the Global Advisory Board for Sexual Health and Wellbeing, Castellanos Usigli proposed the “triangle approach” as conceptual framework linking “sexual health”, “sexual rights” and “sexual pleasure”, which aims to improve public health programs and policies focused on sexuality [8] [9].

He first co-introduced the triangle approach at the 2017 World Congress for Sexual Health [10] and then in a panel at University College London in the context of Human Rights Day 2017 [11] [12].

He has also created the Pleasuremeter, the first conceptual tool to conduct sexual-history taking, sexual health counseling and education with the triangle approach [13]
