Similar to being dissociated as with above, HRT often incurs a lot more openness and acceptance with yourself which can cause a shift in how your sexuality presents itself. It is largely a semantics argument as to whether that is chemical or behavioral. A matter of perspective.

\textbf{Yes.}
\textbf{Yes.} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-exposure_prophylaxis_for_HIV_prevention}{\textit{Pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention} (PrEP)} is a category of antiviral drugs for the purpose of preventing HIV/AIDS. This is not directly related to HRT, but it is common for trans women to be at elevated risk of HIV/AIDs. Given the history of the AIDS pandemic, PrEP is a miracle of modern medicine that should interest you. \textbf{Note: There is no effect of any PrEP drug on HRT so you are encouraged to be on PrEP.}
If you are sexually active, you should strongly consider being on PrEP. Even if you are not sexually active, trans women are at a significantly higher risk of sexual violence, so you should still strongly consider being on PrEP. In most places you are likely to be prescribed \textit{Truvada} as a once-daily pill, although if you experience nausea as a side effect you can likely swap to \textit{Descovy} with no change in effectiveness. In the US, insurance commonly does not cover \textit{Descovy} unless you have tried or say you have tried \textit{Truvada}. The novel drug \textit{lenacapavir} as a twice-yearly injection is expected to make PrEP significantly easier as access becomes more widely available, if current options are prohibitive for you.
