A transgender prostitute accused of infecting a Perth man with HIV is seeking bail in order to get out of a male prison.
Clayton James Palmer, 38, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court via video link from maximum security Casuarina Prison charged with grievous bodily harm after a client was diagnosed with HIV last year.
Palmer was supported by family and friends, including People For Sex Worker Rights in WA spokeswoman Rebecca Davies, who said she should not be held in a male prison.
Palmer will appear in court for a bail hearing on April 7.
