HIV, Sexuality, and Boundaries: A Conversation with Tseng Chih Wei

Tseng Chih Wei is a Taiwanese queer performance artist who has been living with HIV for almost ten years. In this episode, we talk about what that journey has been like—the challenges, the stigma, and also the progress that’s been made in treatment. Wei also shares about the workshops he runs now, supporting people living with HIV/AIDS and helping them navigate the trauma and judgment that can come with it.He opens up about an autobiographical stage piece where he publicly reveals his HIV status. We also get into what it means to “feel sexy again” without going to extremes, how chemsex can sometimes turn intimacy into something empty, and why consent and boundaries are so important for building real trust.Along the way, we touch on power, patriarchy, and queer identity, and break down terms like top, bottom, versatile, queer, and non-binary. If this resonates with you, share it with someone who might need to hear it—and don’t forget to leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Follow Tseng Chih Wei on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tseng_chih_wei/Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_fragle_rok_podcast/
