Have HIV Got it in June a from a working TSG. I was bottomed when the condom broke. Had a hellacious seuroconversion that my GP first thought was flu.
Tested regularly but thought it made sense to be
sure. After finding out, had to inform recent partners which was no fun. Luckily, I kept it to myself. Haven't been with anyone since then. I was surprised to hear that HIV is considered, for the most part, a treatable chronic illness like diabetes (which also can kill you, though). Started meds though I am not in the required CD4 range but because I want to get to "nondetectable" levels, which means that if I ever do have sex again AND the condom breaks, there is less chance to infect my informed lover, whoever that may be. For what it is worth, my doctor, who has a pretty good reputation it turns out, wasn't surprised to hear how I got it. Lots of guys who consider themselves straight love TG women and, according to him, lots of TG working gals have the virus. So, don't mean to stir anything up, but it is a real risk. Being careful must help but you still can get tagged. Good luck.

Couple the fact that transwomen do not always have adequate health
care, and that they may be discriminated against by their health care
providers, and their risk factors go up exponentially.
Here are a few trans-friendly HIV testing and treatment agencies.

In the event that you are having sex with an HIV+ person and the condom bursts, or slips off, your best course of action is to get to an emergency room immediately, and you will be placed on a very high level of a antiretroviral medications.
This is known as Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is short-term antiretroviral treatment to reduce the likelihood of HIV infection after potential exposure, either occupationally or through sexual intercourse. Within the health sector, PEP should be provided as part of a comprehensive universal precautions package that reduces staff exposure to infectious hazards at work.
You will also be tested periodically to make sure that you have not in fact contracted HIV.
Also be mindful that HIV, is not AIDS. Also be aware that neither HIV nor AIDS carry the same automatic 'death sentence' that people felt it did in the early 80s at its genesis.
With early detection, monitoring, medication, and a healthy life style, people with HIV can and do live healthy productive lives.
It goes without saying that the fear of contracting an STD, is highly emotionally charged, and ones's rational thought process can be overwhelmed with fear.
Perhaps the best tool to alleviate some of that angst is to Educate yourself about STDs, the LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.
