Unless you know that the source was indeed HIV+ I doubt that any clinic or hospital will give you a prescription for PEP.

Thank you, is there any where i can find more information about PEP? Are they easily available? .. It was a high risk of exposure, and an act of stupidity. i would say the chances of the other partner having HIV is high too..

PEP if it was a high risk exposure you would need to start within 72 hrs
What was your risk?
