Chemsafe is Sexperterna’s unit at RFSL Stockholm dedicated to harm reduction for people who use drugs in sex-positive spaces or in connection with sex. We do outreach work by being physically present where our communities gather, offering support without judgment—an important step in HIV prevention and better sexual health for MSM, transgender people, and sex workers who use drugs.
Harm reduction is more than a concept—it’s a fundamental right.
We meet people where they are, without judgment or conditions. We listen. We respect one’s choices. We stand in solidarity with our community members who use drugs while centering safety, integrity, and well-being.
Harm reduction isn’t about control; it’s about compassion. It’s about practical, life-saving strategies that prioritize health over punishment, dignity over stigma, and humanity over indifference.
Because when we support people without barriers, we create a stronger, healthier community for everyone.
The Chemsafe team has undergone Sexperterna’s training on sexual health, education on risk prevention, and a defribilator & CPR course.
Our field tasks include both preventive and emergency support measures, such as information provision about different drugs and their effects, referral to RFSL Stockholm’s counseling service and counselors specialized in chemsex, managing overdoses, and supporting someone feeling unwell.
Our supplies include Chemsafe kits with condoms, lubricants, information cards about the Chemsex counseling clinic and overdose management, as well as other relevant harm reduction material.
We collaborate with various collectives and event organizers in Stockholm.
