Tufvesson is well-known for his activism in Brazil, especially for activities benefitting HIV/AIDS causes, but also for equal rights to access marriage, as it is administered and extended by the State. Architect André Piva is his life-partner, and both are well-recognized gay personalities, both by the LGBT community as well as the carioca society (i.e. the Who is who list in the city of Rio de Janeiro).
