Richard Thomas knew the woman had another illness but was unaware of the HIV, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
When the 27-year-old was told she had the disease, he collapsed in "shock" and asked to be taken to hospital for tests to see if he had contracted the virus.
Thomas, of Sandringham Drive, Leigh, pleaded guilty to raping the woman on July 20 this year.
He had let himself into her home uninvited in the middle of the night and she awoke to find him raping her from behind.
"She froze and no words were exchanged. He pulled up his shorts and left," said Harry Pepper, prosecuting.
"He was arrested and interviewed and said he had been drinking heavily, taken cocaine and ecstasy and could not recall the incident," he added.
